Stoicism for every day. 366 Reflections on wisdom, will and art live

All the wisdom of stoicism in a convenient form for every day.

What is Stoicism? For an ordinary person, this concept is not associated with a way of life oriented towards action. And in most cases, it is understood as a synonym for irrepidence. In fact, the philosophy of the Stoics teaches that virtue is happiness, and the reason for most problems is not in things surrounding us, but in how we perceive them.

born in the stormy ancient world, Stoicism is aimed at the unpredictable nature of life and does not lose its relevance. This book returns a legal place for him - an instrument to achieve self -control, perseverance and wisdom.

Ryan Holide and Stephen Hanselman studied the work of the great philosophers-old people and chose one thought for every day of the year. The authors analyzed each of them, supplemented with stories and exercises - you can better understand what we are talking about and find answers to questions that concern you.

From the authors
With the exception of the most ardent seekers of wisdom, stoicism is now either not known or incorrectly understood.

It is difficult to find a word with which the language has treated more unfair than with the word Stoik. For an average person, this bright lifestyle, focused on an action that changes the worldview, is some kind of reduction for unemotionalism. If we take into account the fact that the simple mention of philosophy makes most people be nervous and bored, the expression “stoic philosophy” sounds like the last thing people would like to study, not to mention the need for this in everyday life.

What a sad fate for philosophy, which even one of its episodic critics Arthur Schopenhauer described as the highest peak that a person can achieve, simply using his ability to reason!

The purpose of this book is to return to Stoicism its rightful place as an instrument to achieve self-control, perseverance and wisdom: what a person uses to live a real life, and not for some esoteric areas of academic
