'The Overview Effect' as a literal embodiment of the Stoic ‘view from above’, and how the practice relates not just to an anti-anxiety exercise, but as a path to Cosmopolitanism.
In this article I examine ‘The overview effect’ - a long lasting psychological change in perspective experienced by many astronauts on viewing the planet from space, as I believe there are interesting parallels with the ‘view from above’ Stoic practice.
I propose It may be possible to recreate the same long lasting change and benefits on earth using technology, in people who might be resistant to or struggle with the visualisation and concentration of doing it purely as a thought exercise.
