This is the videorecording of the first portion of my Stoic Week talk at the New Acropolis Chicago, discussing Stoic philosophy and how it can prove useful for people in the contemporary workplace. We discuss five particular practices in particular drawn from Stoicism that can be quite useful.

1. Applying the Dichotomy of Control
2. Negative Visualization or the Premeditation of Adversity
3. Dealing With Appearances and Holding Back Assent
4. Understanding Actions and Motivations Of Others
5 Picking Up The Right Handle In The Present
