Publisher's Summary

Stoicism is often misunderstood merely as enduring hardship without complaint, but this is a modern misconception.

The ancient Stoics had a much more complex view of life and the world. In Stoicism, we’ll look at the full story, including:

  • The history of the ancient Stoics
  • The nature of good and evil, virtue and vice
  • The difference between the things we can control and the things we can’t
  • Living in the present while dealing with fears of the future
  • Logic and practical reasoning
  • Stoicism's role in the development of a new state of mind
  • Stoicism's role in the discovery of a new consciousness
  • How to hold to ancient beliefs in a modern society

We all want to live a good life. We want to do our part, enjoy life, and do some good in the world.

It sounds simple - and in some sense it is - but tying the big picture to everyday life is often hard. We’re bombarded with images and stories about people who are more beautiful than us, richer than us, more famous than us. We face a world of human frailties - ours and others - that often make life difficult and unpleasant.

But we get to decide who we are. We get to decide how we’re going to look at our mistakes. We get to decide how we’re going to look at the insults and injuries others inflict upon us. We get to decide what is important and what is not.

In this audiobook, I explain how Stoicism is far richer and deeper than simply enduring hardship without complaint and provide a road map for applying classic Stoic principles in a modern world.

My comprehensive guide is an exploration of Stoicism in clear and common language suitable for nonacademic audiences, while also providing a practical guide for living your best life. In it, you’ll learn how to prioritize the things you can control. You’ll learn how to acknowledge insult, injury, and your own past mistakes without letting them dictate your actions.

The guide will help you approach life with confidence and achieve a sense of tranquility in what can often be a hectic and disorienting world.
