Sextus as a Cure for Anxiety: What We Can Learn from Sceptic Philosophers

How to stay calm in an age of worry? How to navigate the sea of information? How to stop worrying and start living fully? Answers can be found in the philosophy of skepticism. The ancient Greek physician and philosopher Sextus Empiricus, one of the founders of this school of thought, advised doubting everything around us—seeing it as a way to fight anxiety and uncertainty.

In her audiobook, Doctor of Philosophy Maria Lorenza Chiezara explains how the principles of skepticism can be applied to our everyday life. She shows how a skeptical approach helps critically evaluate information and avoid dogmatism, which supports inner calm and harmony.
