The little book of stoic wisdom

Stoicism is a practical way of life founded in Athens, Greece, by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca are three of the most famous Stoic philosophers. The word “stoic” comes from the Greek word “stoikike”, meaning “one who views things calmly and reasonably”.

It also means “to stand firm” or “to be strong”.

The point of Stoicism isn’t to fix yourself; it’s to learn to be more mindful of your thoughts, emotions, and actions to lead a better life. 

Stoicism teaches accepting the things we can’t change and training our minds to be at peace no matter what. Its main principles can be understood by thinking about how we react to setbacks in our lives. The focus is on self-control, reason, and virtue. It’s like a mental toolkit for life. I apply it to control my mind and emotions better, no matter what happens. Especially when everything's falling apart. 

Stoics believe the only thing we truly control is our actions; thoughts, feelings, and reactions are up to us. Stripped to its basic principles, stoicism teaches how to be calm, resilient and emotionally stable in a world that’s indifferent to our needs and wants.

“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” –Marcus Aurelius.

The little book of stoic wisdom is the best of everything I've learned from stoic teachers. It's practical, short and easy to apply. A stoic life manual that might change your approach to life.
