About this listen

Are you tired of feeling things? Do you want to stop caring about life’s endless nonsense? Congratulations—you’re ready for Stoicism.

Life is a relentless parade of disasters, disappointments, and idiots who won’t shut up. And yet, most people spend their days panicking, complaining, and overreacting—wasting precious energy on things they can’t control. A true Stoic? They sip their coffee in complete silence while the world crumbles around them.

This book will teach you the fine art of emotional detachment so that nothing—not traffic, not heartbreak, not even the impending collapse of civilization—can shake you.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • How to wake up every morning knowing that today will be a mess—and being fine with it
  • The “Meh” response system for handling everything from job loss to bad WiFi
  • Why material things are pointless (but also, let’s be real, heated car seats are amazing)
  • How to pretend to listen while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome
  • How to master the blank, expressionless stare that makes people deeply uncomfortable
  • Why billionaires would be happier living in a cave (but you still need rent money, so don’t do that)
  • The nightly ritual of contemplating death so you can sleep like a sociopath

This is not a self-help book. This is a self-detachment book. If you’re ready to become an unshakable force of calm indifference, to stop letting life stress you out, and to fully embrace the Stoic art of not giving a single damn, this is the book for you.

WARNING: Listening to this audiobook may cause:

  • A total loss of interest in pointless drama
  • An inability to react to nonsense, even when expected to
  • People wondering if you’re deeply enlightened or just emotionally broken
