How do we live through hard times? Bestselling author of Reasons Not to Worry and Wellmania, Brigid Delaney, returns with a masterclass for us all on applying stoicism for the betterment of your life and community. In The Seeker and the Sage, a traumatised journalist is given a dream assignment: track down the mayor of a remote and mysterious town whose citizens are reported to be the happiest people on Earth. What will we learn? Join us as Kate Mildenhall (The Hiding Place) interviews Brigid and gets to the heart of the matter. No doubt she will reveal the funny side of being stoic too...
