Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Frankl and Descartes didn't either, but they got a lot closer than the rest of us, and they left notes. You've been showing up to our CPA nights for years, and some of the best conversations I've had in Chicago have been with you. So I wanted to offer something deeper. For four Monday evenings, a small group of us will sit around one table with those notes. We'll read them slowly, talk honestly, and leave each night with something we can actually use. By December, you WILL walk away with: * A clearer head. You'll learn Plato's tools for spotting the illusions that keep smart people stuck, and you'll practice using them on your own life. * A steadier character. You'll take home Marcus Aurelius's daily practice for staying calm when life is not. * Meaning that holds up in hard seasons. Viktor Frankl's method for finding purpose even in suffering, made practical for your week. * A sharper sense of what makes you human in the age of AI. You'll have a clear answer when the machines get smarter, through Descartes and the question of the self.
