How to not worry in chaotic times

With the Queen’s death last week, the world woke to a new generation. We have a new King, a new heir to the throne and many expect conversations to begin about Australia’s future in the Commonwealth. What should you do if you feel unsure about the future?

In today’s episode of the Briefing, we’re joined by Brigid Delaney whose new book Reasons Not To Worry - How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times, comes out next week. Brigid explains what we can learn from stoics, philosophers who lived by a set of rules that helped them find solace and comfort in difficult times.

As Australia – and the world – enters a new era, we talk about Stoicism and why worrying is simply a waste of time.

Today's Headlines:

- King Charles admits to feeling ‘weight of history’
- New Covid vaccine approved by ATAGI
- Caddick inquiry hears unlikely she cut off own foot
