The Stoic daily review is a structured morning-and-evening self-examination practice — rooted in Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus — that trains attention on what is within your control, builds honest self-knowledge, and interrupts reactive patterns before they compound. Evidence is largely mechanistic and clinical; no randomized trials exist, but the underlying cognitive mechanisms align with modern research on self-monitoring and reflection.

- Ataraxia Practice
Epicurus taught that happiness is ataraxia — tranquil freedom from anxiety — achieved not through luxury and excess but through simple pleasures, genuine friendship, philosophical reflection, and freedom from unnecessary fear. His system is a precise argument against hedonic treadmill behaviour: the desires that seem to promise happiness (wealth, fame, power) are the ones that most reliably prevent it.
