Stoicism

Principles for Achieving Balance, Contentment, and Resilience in Everyday Life.

No tree becomes rooted and sturdy unless many a wind assails it. For by its very tossing it tightens its grip and plants its roots more securely; the fragile trees are those that have grown in a sunny valley. (Seneca)

Landmarks of virtue

• Mental toughness
• Emotional intelligence
• Resilience
• Happiness
• Balance

These are just a few things that we, as a society, are lacking today on a large scale. Many of us are in search of strength. We read/listen to books about being happy and learning how to stop caring about what other people think. And yet, so much of our self-help isn’t working.

Timeless ideas

The age-old principles of Stoicism aim to offer true strength in those crucial areas where we may be lacking. They offer pertinent wisdom - here and now, in our modern time. Here are a few Stoic quotes as examples:

• “Tranquility comes when you stop caring what they say. Or think, or do. Only what you do.” (Marcus Aurelius)
• “It does not matter what you bear, but how you bear it.” (Seneca)
• “Learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference.” (Marcus Aurelius)

Road maps to meaning

Stoicism interests those who fail to find meaning in the futile norms and customs enforced by different faiths. It is meant for deep thinkers who wish to understand life rationally. It allows you to delve into the depths of logic and reasoning and analyze everything in an impartial manner.

Blueprints for success

Stoicism has been shown to have great results in those who study it and apply it. An overwhelming number of people, young and old, have attested to making better students, better partners, and better workers. The timeless, modern value of Stoic principles is irrefutable.

Well researched

I found this book to be very well researched and it offered a lot of great content on the subject of Stoicism. I have already recommended to a few friends who I know would be interested, and am on my second time listening to it now. Great read, great narration. Five stars!

Probably the best book on Stoicism I've read.

I was taking a chance buying this, because it didn't have many reviews. But, I was actually blown away by the depth of this 3 hour audiobook. It did a great job painting a picture of some of the Stoic legends, their hearts, and their words. I have already recommended this to a few other people. I know there is a lot of crap out there on Audible... trust me, I've been burned once or twice, but this one does not deserve to be listed alongside them. It is a few major steps above. Probably the best book on Stoicism I've read, and everything about it was high quality.
