Have you ever wondered how we viewed and managed Mental Health in ancient times? Can we apply their philosophies today to improve our mental health?
In this episode of me&my health up we explore this topic of how ancient philosopher's such as Marcus Aurelius viewed and tackled mental health and how you can apply it today with UK-based philosophy researcher and writer Jamie Ryder. We discuss how schools of thought like Stoicism can be beneficial for mental health, especially for men who may not want to discuss their experiences. Jamie also shares how reframing philosophy as a way of life rather that something to study makes it more accessible and even fun once you start to apply it.
