Connects ancient wisdom and modern psychology

This book makes a very clever connection between ancient wisdom and modern psychology, doing justice to both.

By connecting stoicism with emotional intelligence, it demonstrates that stoicism is not just a philosophy of thought, but a philosophy of living and engaging with others.

Emotional intelligence benefits by connecting the EQ framework and tactics with stoicism’s broader moral philosophy, providing a “north star” for our behavior.

Compelling stories are read with passion and conviction by the author. This book serves as a launch pad to encourage deeper exploration of both stoicism and the available works on emotional intelligence.
