About this ebook

 “How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?”

– Epictetus, Stoic philosopher

Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts?

While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were.

This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you and live up to your best self.

A mix of timeless wisdom and empowering advice, The Little Book of Stoicism will point the way to anyone seeking a calm and wise life in a chaotic world.

Ratings and reviews

Just stepping into Stoicism, I needed a primer - something to give me simple, easy to understand tidbits about this philosophy. This fit the bill nicely. Highly recommend for those who don't have a lot of time for long, drawn out, in-depth philosophical discussions.

one of the best books on the topic I have read. Easy to read, digest, and full of great ideas.

Very interesting, will help me in my day to day world.
