Depression & Stoic Reflection | Massimo Rigotti

Drawing from his own crash into depression after Samantha’s murder trial and the writing of the S.O.B.E.R. Method book, Massimo breaks down why Stoicism is the foundation of real change.You’ll learn what genuine Stoic reflection actually looks like. Massimo guides you through a live 3-question exercise you can do right now with pen and paper.If you’re tired of performing while quietly falling apart, this episode gives you the first step of the S.O.B.E.R.
