Embrace the stoic way of life and create a happier future.
This simple, empowering book shows how to use ancient wisdom to make practical, positive changes to your life. Using thought-provoking case studies, highlighting key ideas and things to remember and providing tools for self-assessment, it demonstrates that Stoicism is a proven, profound pathway to happiness.
The stoics lived a long time ago, but they had some startling insights into the human condition - insights which endure to this day. The philosophical tradition, founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in 301 BC, endured as an active movement for almost 500 years, and contributions from dazzling minds such as Cicero, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius helped create a body of thought with an extraordinary goal - to provide a rational, healthy way of living in harmony with the nature of the universe and in respect of our relationships with each other.
In many ways a precursor to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Stoicism provides you with strategies and techniques for developing psychological resilience, while celebrating all in life which is beautiful and important.
By learning what stoicism is, you can revolutionise your life and learn how to seize the day, live happily and be a better person.
