Journalist and author, Brigid Delaney looked into the ancient philosophy during an assignment from her editor. What she discovered led her to years of study and a brand-new outlook on life that focuses less on happiness and more on meaning and contentment.Brigid is devoted to the Stoics, a philosophy that encourages its followers to focus on what they can control, accepting what happens outside of that sphere of control, and mastering inner peace to have a good life.These ideas have helped Brigid prepare for grief and take the edge off her anxiety by putting it in context.One of the most powerful Stoic ideas is that all the wonderful things and people in our life are “on loan” and can be taken away at any moment.Instead of taking them for granted, the Stoics wanted us to run toward them at full speed, and wring as much fun and juice out of them as we can.Further informationBrigid's new book The Seeker And The Sage, and Reasons Not To Worry: How to be Stoic in chaotic times are both published by Allen & Unwin.The Executive Producer of Conversations is Nicola Harrison.This episode contains references to a buddhist with attitude, Nassim Taleb, stoic week, Nero, improving my life, how to improve my life, how to be content, how to find meaning in life, The Guardian, Brigid Delaney's Diary, newspaper column, newspaper columnist, writer, writing life, author, novel, fable, Circles of Hierocles, meditation, Celeste Barber, Wellmania, netflix and internal happiness.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

While sometimes it might seem the appeal of stoic philosophy is limited to only a certain group of people or a certain set of circumstances, Brigid Delaney (author of 'Reasons not to Worry' and 'Wellmania') is here to tell us how it can be for everyone, in every moment - and how it can benefit us collectively just as much as individually. In this conversation: The one simple step to begin stoic practice in your own life How to develop immunity to frustration, anger and even suffering The power of communicating through values Check out Brigid's new book The Seeker and the Sage For from more Osher, including tickets to Story Club and his new book So What, Now What? head hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode we talk to author Brigid Delaney, whose writing about her alarmingly numerous misadventures in life belies a more serious, intellectual side. Those two sides came together in her book exploring the wellness industry, Wellmania (comedian Celeste Barber plays a version of Delaney in the Netflix series of the same name). She recently took a dive into stoic philosophy, including the 2022 bestseller Reasons Not to Worry, and her upcoming novel – The Seeker and the Sage – is billed as a tale to help us navigate our divided and unstable world. Hosting this conversation – which also covers Delaney’s recent stint as a speechwriter for federal minister Tanya Plibersek – is Good Weekend senior writer Melissa Fyfe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reasons Not to Worry by Brigid Delaney

Stoicism is not a philosophy for the classroom, but a philosophy for life. You use it and it makes you better. That is, if you take it seriously. If you give it a chance.

Marcus Aurelius' letters to his rhetoric teacher, Fronto, give us a unique look into his life and relationships. As Brigid Delaney said in her recent interview on the Daily Stoic, "if you want to understand Meditations, Letters to Fronto is a really great place to start."Listen to more of Marcus Aurelius' Letters to Fronto | Apple Podcasts & Spotify These letters were first edited and translated into English by C. R. Haines.

Brigid Delaney was at a unique point in her life and found herself looking for answers around life's deepest questions: What does it mean to be a good person? How do we stop letting the things out of our control rule our emotions? Can our anger be tamed? After learning more about Stoicism, Brigid decided to let the ancient wisdom from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca guide her decisions for a year. While in Australia on tour, Ryan had the chance to meet Brigid in person and talk with her about why Stoicism resonated with her, how to successfully apply Stoicism to modern problems, and the common misconceptions around Stoicism being exclusively for men. To learn more about Brigid's experience, check out her book Reasons Not to Worry: How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times. Brigid Delaney is the author of Reasons Not to Worry: How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times and Wellmania: Extreme Misadventures in the Search for Wellness. Be sure to check out the Netflix series Brigid co-create, inspired by her book Wellmania!

Nákup oblečení, aplikace pleťové masky nebo víkend v lázních. Takto je nám nejčastěji prezentovaný koncept sebepéče. V rychlém tempu pozdního kapitalismu je sebepéče často vnímaná jako způsob vyrovnávání se se stresem – jako nástroj, jak si vzít zpět alespoň část svého času a peněz a udělat pro sebe něco hezkého. Když je mnoho žen denně osm hodin v práci a pak se vrátí domů, kde se musí postarat o celou rodinu, je legitimní požadovat volno alespoň na pár hodin týdně. Ať už jde o courání se po nákupech nebo třeba uvolnění na masáži. V tomto ohledu, jak píše Brigid Delaney, může být sebepéče vnímaná jako „deklarace ženských práv“, tedy právo na volný čas. Jako jedinci neexistujeme ve vakuu – sebepéče má být nutně spojená s péčí a starostí o druhé. Jen tak může sloužit jako nástroj opravdové emancipace. Způsoby, jak na to, najdete v novém dílu podcastu Hysterie. Podpořte vznik dalších dílů Podcastu: https://www.darujme.cz/projekt/1205779

Brigid Delaney is currently a political speechwriter. She was a journalist for The Guardian, and wrote popular weekly column, 'Brigid Delaney's Diary',' which we little a little about in this interview. She wrote that column for eight years. It is so good. Like unbelievably and consistently funny, it's stood the test of time. Read the cheese story and the mansion story mentioned in the episode—they're incredible!   Brigid also wrote Wellmania, the book that the Netflix series is based. But the main thing that Katherine and Brigid talk a lot in this interview about is stoicism, which is the focus of her most recent book, Reasons Not to Worry.  Katherine has wanted to speak to Brigid about stoicism for a long time. Brigid wrote an article about stoicism when COVID first started, and it felt like it offered a sort of solace that wasn't anywhere else. The concepts are so useful, particularly for creatives and people putting art/writing into the world.  Check out show notes for this episode at katherinecollette.com, subscribe via your podcast app or get in touch via Instagram @katherinecollettewriter. This episode is sponsored by Fremantle Press and Marie O'Rourke's book 'Kintsugi'. 

Who the hell would want to be a Stoic? That was journalist Brigid Delaney's thought when she was commissioned to write a book on Stoic philosophy. Brigid felt she was more Epicurean by nature if anything, but having now written the book Reasons Not to Worry: How to be Stoic in Chaotic Times, she's happy to admit Marcus Aurelius and co. rule her life.In this episode, Brigid walks us through:What to do when you have FOMO in your career.What to do with feeling of failure.What to do when you piss off your neighbour.What to do when conflicts escalate.How to cope with disaster.How to create structure around your drinking habits.And how to make your own shame vaccine. Jenny reflects on how her thinking was transformed by Stoicism during a stint at Alcoholics Anonymous. Frank insists he's a Stoic, despite regularly pulling hand guns on tradies.LINKSBrigid Delaney's book Reasons Not to WorryBrigid Delaney's book WellmaniaSpirit Levels on InstagramOur newsletter Hosted on Acast.

Are you a worrier? Or perhaps prone to mood swings? You might learn a thing or two from the ancient Stoic philosophers, says journalist Brigid Delaney. Listen in as Brigid talks Liz through the core principles and values of Stoicism, how to achieve an enduring tranquillity known as Ataraxia, and simple ways to lead a more calm and drama-free life.Liz and Brigid also discuss why dizzying highs often mean devastating lows (and how we can aim for a more moderate middle ground), plus other helpful exercises practiced by Stoic philosophers, such as negative visualisation and journaling.

The comedy and acting star Aisling Bea grew up in County Kildare in Ireland and in 2011 became the first woman for 20 years to win the prestigious stand-up competition So You Think You're Funny? Her Bafta-winning sitcom This Way Up firmly established her as a presence to be reckoned with on our TV screens- last year she played the lead in the film based on Take That's music, Greatest Days, and she regularly pops up on US TV and movies. She joins Emma Barnett to discuss her latest show, Alice and Jack, which has just begun on Channel 4.Following the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, we look at the role of his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and whether she might become the new face of the opposition. Yulia is due to speak with European foreign ministers in Brussels today. To discuss, Emma is joined by the Spectator's Russia correspondent, Owen Matthews, who was Bureau Chief for Newsweek in Moscow for more than a decade, and Sarah Rainsford, BBC Eastern Europe Correspondent who was expelled from Russia after many years, and is now based in Warsaw. Carmen Smith is 27 and set to become the youngest peer in the House of Lords. Carmen will replace Plaid Cymru's only member of the Lords,  Dafydd Wigley (the Rt, Hon Lord Wigley) who is retiring aged 80, and was a previously leader of Plaid.  Carmen will be known as Baroness Smith of Llanfaes, the village where she grew up. She joins Emma to talk about the challenges ahead, the reaction to her selection and why she wants to join a body she believes should be abolished. Can Ancient Greek theories revolutionise our modern day lives? Australian author Brigid Delaney seems to think so. She talks to Emma about swapping wellness for stoicism, alongside classicist Professor Edith Hall.Presenter: Emma Barnett Produced by: Louise Corley Studio engineer: Steve Greenwood

Can the ancient wisdom of the Stoics help you live a better life today?

The holidays are their own kind of crazy: family, crowds, difficult memories and it can be hard to find the calm.   On this week's episode, we talk to author Brigid Delaney about finding Ataraxia (sense of calm) when the external world feels chaotic.  Brigid's new book is called REASONS NOT TO WORRY: How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times.  She references stoicism as a practice where we can choose to control our reactions and character and release control of all else.

It's finally here, Britney Spears highly anticipated memoir “The Woman In Me” is out, and Zan has read it all in one hit. We go in with all you need to know, as Britney reclaims her story. It's been a big week for Beyonce too, as we mark 10 years since she visited Brunswick, and she releases a new perfume to mark the occasion. Maybe not related, but we'll say they are. Kings of Leon have come a long way from their southern charm, and are being called out for being absolute dicks at a festival by Groove Armada. Pass the popcorn. And a 90's dream union has come true, with the children of icons continuing the dynasty. Goatees are back (ew), and AI has a hotness problem. Have you noticed?

Linda heads out of the city to check in on her fertility journey with a close ‘egg freezing' friend. She makes a happy discovery while realising an important emotional lesson on control and expectations. How do we let go of things outside of our control? A new friend teaches us the philosophy of stoicism as Linda asks, how do we remain stoic in times of uncertainty? Why do the stoics say no to ‘hope'?  Join Linda on her hilarious, raw and (sometimes) sad journey towards self-reflection and growth in a time of uncertainty. Tough love lessons on all the shit that counts.

Od 29 marca na platformie Netflix serial „Wellmania” z niepodrabialną Celeste Barber. Ten filmowy projekt powstał na podstawie książki Brigid Delaney, która pokazuje, że poszukiwanie wewnętrznej harmonii czasami przybiera karykaturalne formy. Branża health&beauty potrafi bez skrupułów zarabiać na ludzkim zagubieniu. Miotamy się między hedonizmem a zagrażającymi życiu postami. Zdrowe żywienie zamienia się w ortoreksję, ćwiczenia stają się obsesją, zostaje wieczne niezadowolenia z samego siebie. We wtorek porozmawiamy m.in. o przebodźcowaniu, samotności i pragnieniu spokoju. Przyjrzymy się swoim relacjom z nowoczesnymi technologiami i podzielimy sposobami na miniurlopy dla przegrzanego mózgu.

This chat I am joined by Australian Actor ‘Lachlan Buchanan' who is currently staring in the smash hit series ‘Wellmainia' now on ‘Netflix Australia.' ‘Lachie' takes on the role of actress comedian ‘Celeste Barber's' brother in ‘Wellmainia' and while the show has been out for a few weeks - I thought it would be great to talk with him about his break-through role. ‘Wellmania' is an ‘Australian' comedy drama streaming television series co-created by ‘Brigid Delaney' and ‘Benjamin Law' for Netflix. Based on ‘Delaney's' memoir-reportage hybrid, ‘Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness,' it follows' Liv Healy (Celeste Barber), a 39-year-old woman who struggles with a "major health crisis" as she tries various methods to reclaim her well-being. I will ask ‘Lachie' about his life in ‘Los Angeles' and how he has survived for 14 years trying to crack the biz!  ‘Lachie' will explain if the show was scripted or if they improvised a lot of the comedy. We will talk a bit about gay culture in television and film and why he thinks this show offers an alternative to some of the stereotypes we have seen over the years Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of 'Wellmainia' which you can now view on ‘Netflix.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With rising interest rates, escalating inflation, a war underway in Ukraine and coming out of the pandemic, it's understandable we're all a bit more worried. In today's episode of the Briefing, we talk with Brigid Delaney about her book: Reasons Not To Worry - How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times. Brigid explains what we can learn from stoics, philosophers who lived by a set of rules that helped them find solace and comfort in difficult times.

If you're feeling frazzled with the festive season, then you might want to take a leaf out of Brigid Delaney's new book. The author and senior writer for Guardian Australia says she spent years living a chaotic lifestyle but in 2018 turned her attention to Stoicism, an ancient philosophy which promotes the idea that we shouldn't unnecessarily worry about things outside our control. Drawing on age-old schools of thought, Delaney's book Reasons Not to Worry, How to be Stoic in Chaotic Times offers practical tips for everything from beating FOMO, dealing with pandemic pandemonium and finding inner calm.

Brigid Delaney wishes she'd tapped into stoicism a lot earlier. Its principles have helped her take more risks, worry less, and find tranquility. In a new book, Brigid outlines how this ancient Greek philosophy can be applied to help you in everyday life. I loved wrestling with these ideas. Letting go of hope? Imaging my child dying via 'negative visualisation' so I live in the moment? Difficult stuff! I hope these tools are useful or spark ideas for how you can approach the challenges going on in your world right now.

174. Brigid Delaney on Stoicism.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns of the past few years, Brigid Delaney went searching for ideas that might help us feel a bit better. She stumbled across Stoicism, an ancient Greek philosophy which is all about how not to sweat the small stuff and better appreciate our precious time on earth. Brigid's new book is called Reasons Not to Worry, and you can follow more of her work on twitter @BrigidWD.  Connect with Cass: www.cassdunn.com instagram.com/cassdunn_xo facebook.com/cassdunn.xo Join the Crappy to Happy community: www.facebooks.com/groups/crappytohappycommunitySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yeah look it's a bit of a weird one this week. All good, Myf Warhurst and Zan Rowe make sense of it for you as per. The Queen's funeral has taken place and in amongst the meticulously planned ceremony, some outlier events have all of us talking. Yes, we're referring to the spider, and that bit of paper on the ground. The end of this long period of mourning, respect, and reflection has been felt in different ways across different communities. Stan Grant's brilliant and heartbreaking editorial for ABC News asks us to consider how the past two weeks has felt for those who were colonised by the Crown. Meanwhile high in a Collins Street skyscraper in Melbourne, a hectic love triangle is playing out and only one will survive. Myf wraps up the Peregrine Falcon drama playing out for all to see. And fans of the original Serial podcast; we have an update on the case of Adnan Syed. Mariah Carey revealed she once recorded a grunge album when she unveiled her brilliant biography a couple of years ago. Now she's planning on releasing it with new vocals to the world. And speaking of things we didn't see coming, Nick Cave and Brad Pitt are just like us: they've been doing pottery during lockdown and have something to show for it. We go inside their ceramics exhibition in a Finnish gallery. Told you. Wild week. Myf is banging on about a great read from one of our fave writers Brigid Delaney, while Zan is lapping up the brilliant new Björk podcast which unpacks her whole back catalogue of albums.

With the Queen's death last week, the world woke to a new generation. We have a new King, a new heir to the throne and many expect conversations to begin about Australia's future in the Commonwealth. What should you do if you feel unsure about the future? In today's episode of the Briefing, we're joined by Brigid Delaney whose new book Reasons Not To Worry - How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times, comes out next week. Brigid explains what we can learn from stoics, philosophers who lived by a set of rules that helped them find solace and comfort in difficult times. As Australia – and the world – enters a new era, we talk about Stoicism and why worrying is simply a waste of time.
