Publisher's Summary

Do you want to learn how to navigate this chaotic life without wasting it?

Are you looking for effective ways to stop worrying about the past or future and focus more on the present?

Do you want to discover practical ways of how stoicism can improve your life?

If your answer was yes, then keep reading because you’re about to find what you’re looking for.

The world we live in nowadays is so frantic and full of distractions. You’re not the only one feeling anxious and unable to focus on your personal life due to this fast-paced society.

The good news is the right change of perspective can offer you clarity and help you achieve the mental balance you need to live an efficient and successful life.

Stoicism, as a philosophy, can help you achieve just that.

In 2019, a study published in The Behavior Therapist, Vol. 42, No. 2, conducted by D. Robertson and T. Codd explored stoicism’s similarities to modern psychotherapy.

The findings show that the founders of modern psychotherapy, A. Ellis and A. Beck, acknowledged the main principles of REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) were originally discovered and stated by the stoics.

Stoicism, as well as modern psychotherapy, aims to help you learn effective strategies you can apply to your unique life situations to deal with difficult situations such as loss, depression, anxiety, and helplessness.

Thankfully, this book holds essential knowledge to help you cope with difficult experiences, build emotional resilience, and achieve a happy meaningful life.

In this guide, you will discover:

  • How to apply stoic principles and retain composure during difficult times, even if it’s losing people you love
  • Effective tips on dealing with insults, grief, old age, and other distracting temptations that hold you down from becoming the better person you want to be
  • Practical exercises to help you focus all your efforts on the things you can control without having a hard time letting go of your past
  • Why it's essential to develop an eye for the bigger picture in life and how you can stop feeling lost even if you see no light at the end of the tunnel
  • A fast and effective strategy to help you become a better human being that will instantly improve all your current relationships
  • Simple mindfulness techniques you can implement to fully enjoy your present without becoming anxious about your past or future
  • How a few simple healthy practices and devotions can restore your mental balance (This is vital if you're paralyzed by worry, right now.)
  • One essential truth you don't want to believe, but should - this could give you the tools and clarity you need to let yourself be happy
  • And so much more!

Your level of happiness in life depends mostly on your mental perception of your experiences. This is why learning healthy tips on how to cut through distractions and empty desires can help you not only become a better human being, but also a happier one.
