In this series, Holiday looks at different schools of Greek philosophy—such as Cynicism, Epicureanism and Stoicism—and teaches members how to integrate these schools of thought into four key areas of their lives: Communication, Love and Relationships, Resilience and Personal Growth. With 10 million books sold, he's the best selling living philosopher and will be joined by experts Dr. Jennifer Baker, a philosophy professor at the College of Charleston; Dr. Alexandra Solomon, clinical psychologist and faculty member at Northwestern University; and filmmaker, speaker and author Remi Adeleke, a former Navy SEAL. Together, they will offer different perspectives, practical takeaways and tools for how members can draw on ancient philosophy to make a difference in their lives today.
Episodes include:
- How to Give and Receive Feedback: Holiday and experts will share ancient wisdom for navigating tough conversations, key skills for giving feedback and advice for online communication when dealing with trolls and bullies.
- Be Honest With Yourself and Others: Holiday and experts will discuss what philosophy can teach members about romance, friendships and their relationships with their parents. He will share how the Cynics approached authenticity, and what parenting lessons can be learned from the Stoics.
- Respond to Situations With Clarity: In this episode, Holiday and experts will look at personal, professional and existential resilience, how to lean into and respond to obstacles, battle burnout, and become stronger through adversity.
- Find Time for Solitude: Holiday and experts will share the power of seeking solitude, being a lifelong learner, and remaining adaptable to achieve true satisfaction.
"No matter the era, we are all only human and dealing with problems that are timeless," Holiday said. "In this series, I will talk with other experts and share how to navigate pressing issues using ancient wisdom. This series is for everyone—whether young or old. I believe there is something in philosophy for all MasterClass members."
