Publisher's summary

We live in a fast-paced world that has come to characterize the 21st century. We are bombarded with constant distractions, and silence has all but vanished from our daily schedule and practice. We are collectively exhausted, but we don’t really realize it. The exhaustion manifests in sicknesses we can’t identify, and if we can, it’s something we can’t pronounce. We batter ourselves against the daily onslaught that has become our lives.

We all need a break, and we all need answers on how to stop this fast-moving wreck in motion. The answer it turns out has been in front of us all along and within us even longer. The Stoics figured it out two and a half millennia ago and practiced it with great results. Maybe it can help us now too.

Stoicism has two aspects - the theory and the academics of it, and wanting to read or listen to the texts that fall into that category is a good thing, but this is not that. This book is about how one practices Stoicism in their daily life here and now. It is for this century, this decade.

Is the solution here? No. The solution is within each of us. What you will find here, though, is the way to extract the solution that is already within you. It’s as simple as that.

So what are you waiting for? Scroll up and click the "buy now" to find the solution you've been searching for!

This book has been an absolute game changer for my morning routine. Each chapter is associated with one day of the year, . Kyle does an incredible job distilling ancient Stoic principals into easy to understand, modern language. I look forward to listening what that morning's thoughts are going to be, and honest to goodness it's made me a morning person.
