Publisher's summary

If you are a philosopher or someone who seeks to find principles of better ways of living, stoicism is an interesting philosophy that guides one into a life that is full of fulfillment and happiness. Don't get me wrong, it is not simple, philosophy is complex, but many people try to pick bits and pieces of it to make it work for them in some circumstances. If you want to know how to apply various principles of stoicism, learn its history, and gain insights on how to better manage the things that are causing harm in your life, then Stoicism is the book that you have been waiting for.

It doesn't matter the point in life that you are in, you might be living paycheck to paycheck, or you have a lot of wealth; the philosophy of stoicism will help you manage the problems and situations that plague your life from day to day. It is often said that it's hard to see an unhappy person in a Lamborghini, but as hard as it may seem to believe for an average man, there are different sets of problems that come with that. For any man to be able to counter the everyday problems, a philosophy is what comes to aid, it's like an operating system. It is what helps you to become a better person when you have it all or when you have nothing.

To have the right discipline and focus of life, this book is going to change your life and provide you with the best disciplines, or "life hacks". You will learn life skills and strategies to counter the most mundane, to the toughest things that come into your life. It is possible for one to lose all the things in life, especially possessions and family, this requires one to have a tough skin and way of living that can allow one to stand firm when this thing comes to play.

I enjoyed listening

I do not think it will change my life. In what I heard, I tried to test what I learned that's why many things realized in my life. This Stoicism is a beautiful way of life.

Well said

It gave me good ways to live well and enough. It is more important to be happy than to be rich. It guides me to overcome the problems that will come to my life. I know it will not be easy because it's so complex. But after I learned it, my life would be better.

Very interesting.

The philosophy of Stoicism has helped me to manage the problems and situations in my life. It helped me to overcome all of it and gives me advice to stand on my own feet when there are problems.
