Ben Aldridge

Ben Aldridge is a bestselling author and international keynote speaker who teaches audiences about building resilience through embracing discomfort. He combines ancient Greek philosophy, particularly Stoicism, with modern psychology and personal storytelling. Aldridge's own experience began with severe anxiety that made ordinary activities difficult; he overcame this through the practice of askesis, deliberate self-imposed challenges ranging from ice baths and marathons to learning practical skills like lock-picking and solving Rubik's cubes.
