Stoicism influencers currently offer cold plunges, dawn journalling and Marcus Aurelius quotes laid over gym footage — a £90 course in accepting what you cannot change.
Practise memento mori directly: greet colleagues, baristas and the postman with a warm “good morning — you will die one day”, then proceed as normal. The ancients called this wisdom; reception desks call it something else. Field notes record 14 profound silences, two new gym memberships, and a standing request to use the other entrance.
