IN-PERSON: Stoic Wisdom by Nancy Sherman, Chap. 5, Part 2

This is our IN-PERSON event for Saturdays (no Zoom link available). We meet every 2 weeks at Panera at Maitland Avenue and 436.

We are continuing our series on the book "Stoic Wisdom” by Nancy Sherman, one of the scholars in the Modern Stoicism movement. Her book is very readable and has many practical philosophy tips for modern living. We will cover one chapter in each meeting. The book is available on Amazon for as little as $10 for paperback or Kindle (buying the book is not required).

VENUE - The location is Panera Bread at the corner of Maitland Avenue and 436. We usually meet in the community room (in the back), but if we are not there, check other tables in the front of the venue. The address is 696 E Altamonte Dr, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701. Parking is free. Ordering food and drink is optional, but please consider buying something to support the venue.

TIME - The meeting starts at 5:00PM Eastern. No worries if you're late... it's better to be late than not show up. Also, we take a break half-way in the meeting for refreshment and a bathroom break.

ZOOM LINK - Since this is only an in-person meeting, no Zoom link is available.

TEMPERATURE - The community room might get cool, so please bring a sweater.

GUESTS - As some have requested, you can now bring 1 guest without clicking RSVP separately. If you have more guests, please ask them to RSVP so the host can prepare the room for everyone.

OTHER - If you'd like to plan something after the meeting, Altamonte Springs has many other venues, including movie theaters and the boardwalk at Crane's Roost park (1 mile walk).

COURTESY - This group enjoys open-minded, respectful conversations. We don't talk over each other. If we differ in our opinions, then "we agree to disagree". The long-term goal is to improve our minds via group discussions. Our group does NOT discuss religion or politics.
