Stoicism is one philosophy that is not just theoretical in nature.It is something that you learn to adopt into your everyday life; its ancient wisdom is more relevant than ever in today's chaotic world.Using moral insight, self-control, courage and justice, Stoicism ensures a firm and consistent way of life that focuses on the choices you make, so that failure ultimately leads to more success.Dating back to around 300 B.C. in Athens, Stoicism was initially developed by Zeno of Citium. The essence of the philosophy is one of using grit and self-control as ways of overcoming destructive emotions. Despite the modern perception of the word 'Stoic', this does not mean to seek to eliminate all kinds of feelings from your life. The goal, rather, is to transform your emotions and develop inner calm, better judgment, and freedom from unnecessary suffering. Stretching from the Hellenistic period to the 21st century, Stoicism has not lost its practicality in dealing with the problems of life, incorporating logic, self-dialogue, and meditation designed to keep your focus fixed on the present moment.For anyone new to the Stoic Philosophy, let this book guide you through everything you need to know, in one easily accessible, yet comprehensive introduction.Included within:- The origin and history of Stoicism- The core beliefs and principles it's founded on- The lives of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, and how they contributed to the Stoic philosophy- Modern day Stoics- Stoicism and relationships- The Three Topoi & the Three Disciplines- Studying your decisions and identifying whether they are natural or morally good- Embracing the rational use of emotions- Living according to nature's laws- Types of passions and positive feelings- Handling failure like a Stoic- The Four Virtues- Achieving true self-sufficiency- Actual practical tips for implementing Stoicism into your everyday lifeMost importantly, "Stoicism: A Beginner's Guide to the Ancient Art, History, and Wisdom of the Stoic Philosophy," focuses on why it is relevant to your life today.You can use the principles taught to learn how to have greater emotional control, especially over negative feelings like fear, anxiety, grief, and anger. Whether you are struggling how to handle failure or success, a Stoic approach has the potential of leading you down the right path.Enjoy your reading!… (mehr)
