Stoicism in 5 Steps: How to Apply the Timeless Wisdom of the Stoics in Modern Everyday Life to Achieve Iron Discipline, Inner Calm, Resilience & Humility

"With stoic calm": That's how people describe individuals who seemingly can't be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life! Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn't a bit more control over your inner life be nice? Then a modern Stoicism approach is your royal road, because the fundamental idea of its founder Zeno is more relevant today than ever: leading a good life in which your internal and external worlds are in harmonious alignment. To achieve this, one must become master of their emotions and passions—and fortunately, with a little patience, it's quite simple to learn. In this book, you will first familiarize yourself with the theoretical foundations of Stoicism before discovering how to put them into practice. By working through a variety of exercises, tasks, and challenges, you will apply what you've learned and gradually develop the Stoa mindset. Prior knowledge or experience? Not required! Thanks to straightforward explanations and immediately applicable techniques, even newcomers can start effortlessly and achieve impressive results in no time.
