Daily Stoicism
21 Life-Changing Meditations on Philosophy and the Art of Living
Description:... Stoicism provides useful tools and practical strategies to navigate through everyday problems and live a more meaningful and happy life.
Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that was established by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. It is a simple approach to help overcome destructive emotions and act with reason. This philosophy has been practiced by both historical and modern men, including artists, kings, presidents, authors, and entrepreneurs.
Daily Stoicism is an attempt to distill life-changing ideas from the best resources on Stoicism and philosophy in daily easy-to-read meditations.
In this book, the wisdom of great philosophers such as Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius as well as contemporary authors such as Ryan Holiday, Massimo Pigliucci, Donald Robertson, Pierre Hadot, and Nassim Nicholas Taleb has been distilled into a form that is easy to digest and consume (even if you're not a reader!). Every meditation has been crafted to give you either the essence and the formula, if you will, of the subject at hand, or a groundbreaking idea introduced by the respective author.
The fundamentals of attaining practical wisdom and living a good life will never change and that's why Stoicism has proven to be such an indispensable philosophy to learn the art of living. The condensed timeless knowledge in these meditations will guide you in navigating through the complexities that come with modern living and help you in your quest to live a virtuous and happy life.
