What if the key to overcoming fear wasn’t avoiding worst-case scenarios, but facing them head-on with a simple yet powerful mental shift?
In this solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh dives into Stoicism and the practice of Premeditatio Malorum—the premeditation of potential misfortunes. He shares a personal story of navigating a high-stress business crisis and how working with a cognitive behavioral therapist led him to the transformative "And Then" exercise. Discover how this mindset shift can help you break free from anxiety, regain control, and embrace resilience in the face of uncertainty.
In this episode, Darius will discuss:
(00:00) Exploring Stoicism and Premeditatio Malorum
(11:48) Resilience and the Journey of Starting Over
(18:14) Embracing Risk and the Sweet Juice of Life
