Thu 26th Feb, 7:00 pm, Greek Community Center, 168 Lonsdale St. “Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by their opinions about the things.” Epictetus. The ancient Greeks inspired and provided the foundations in a number of scientific fields, including psychology. Following a quick review of the most influential ancient philosophy ideas, Dr Ro will relate the lessons from Greek wisdom to current psychological treatment models (e.g., Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and provide ideas and specific examples to help participants make small changes in order to reduce stress and anger and improve their well being. The event will be interactive and highly entertaining. For a preview of the slides click here (.pdf). Here is video of an older talk in Greece. You can find the slides from a couple of related previous talks here, and a recent interview on SBS here (most in Greek, I am afraid). |
