“It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable." (Seneca, The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca: Essays and Letters)

What does it mean to be “unconquerable"?

Becoming unconquerable has nothing to do with forming an army or strengthening your muscles. In fact, it has nothing to do with anything physical at all. It’s about changing how you view the world and your part in it.

You become unconquerable when you learn how to deal with the curveballs of life. How do you find joy in your darkest hour? How do you feel rich when you have nothing?

You won’t find these teachings in today’s schools, but this is exactly what the ancient philosophers were teaching. Events outside of your control should have no impact on your joy, happiness, peace, or confidence. If these things are going to happen anyway, why not turn them in to positive events?

Instead of always being the victim, turn yourself into the victor. All it takes is a shift in perspective; and that’s what Stoicism is all about.

The timeless wisdom of the Stoics can help anyone find inner peace and joy and Stoicism: Understanding and Practicing the Philosophy of the Stoics is the perfect starting point.

What are you waiting for? If you’re looking for true, unbreakable joy, and strength, get this audiobook to get started!

Wisdom for the ages

Amazing how words written so long ago are still relevant today. Maybe even more so. We need this wisdom to counter the current chaos. Recommended.

Everyone needs this book

Everyone needs this book. Period. Buy this book, follow its guidelines, and tell others to buy this book, who knows maybe one day we will all know peace.I just listen it in bunches at a time then after i listen through it once ill start doing the daily part of it.

Did it for a year

I just finished this book today. At the risk of sounding schmaltzy, it was a bit of a guiding light this year, something I looked forward to listening each morning to help frame my perspective for the day. I plan to start over tomorrow.

Great daily reminders and wisdom

I love the daily guidance that The Daily Stoic provides and have incorporated into my morning / daily routine easily. I highly recommend this book as others have before me.

Awesome

Great way to learn about and incorporate stoicism into your life. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to add a strong daily practice into their life.

How I start my day

I don’t start my day without listening and then re-listening passages from this marvelous book

This is the book you have been looking for

This is the book you have been looking for all your life and didn't know it. If religion has worn thin and eastern woo makes you a bit ill, try this. All the benefits of Buddhism without the pacifism and reincarnation nonsense. Do yourself a favor and get a better outlook on life

A great summary of Stoic tips

I loved this book. I discovered Stoicism about a year ago by listening Happy by Derren Brown. I didn't enjoy that quite as much but wanted to look into the topic more. I think this book did a fabulous job at explaining Stoicism philosophy in a reasonably brief manner while giving practical tips on how to apply it to your own life every day. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Epic portrait of what it means to live Stoic

The Stoics have bewildered me for years with false impressions of old men, practicing sad philosophy. Not so! I was astounded to be advanced in my own practice of tranquility through masterful arts of negative visualization and avoiding the temptations to pursue riches, fame and possession as a means of joy. Thank you for this brilliant and well researched recap of the philosophy.

Happy to have found this book

This is the second audio of this book. Not much a student of philosophy and had always thought Stoics were anti-emotion. This book opened my eyes to the joy of living day to day and appreciating how lucky I really am. After listening the book twice, realized Stoicism as described by Kyle Faber was a perfect fit for me.
