“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

Very well done

I am a philosopher who has a distaste for most works of contemporary philosophy. However this book is a gem. A great practical explanation of how to improve your life with stoic philosophy that anyone can easily understand.

Very insightful

This is a really great book if you're looking for a daily boost. I listen one each morning and it really helps set the tone for my day. Highly recommend, also makes a great gift.

Wonderful as a daily listen

I listen one of these daily as prescribed by the outlay of the book. At times certain chapters did not resonate with me but other times it really made a difference in my day and my perspective. Well worth the listen.
