About The Book

This engrossing workbook, featuring printed page edges and gold cover embossing, will permit you to examine the ideas around stoicism, as well as give you quotations from the great and good classical thinkers who espoused this philosophy.

Stoicism has seen a huge resurgence recently, and its popularity may well be down to how practical it is. Its principles are as relevant to us today as they were to its founder Zeno (c. 334 - 262 BCE). Stoicism can do much more than help you with life's problems; practice it, and you will enjoy life more, have better relationships, and get more satisfaction from work. You do not need to buy special equipment, go on retreats, or indeed change your circumstances at all. All you need is a willingness to learn. As you work through the journal, you will find your mindset shifting and your ability to show resilience greatly enhanced. This also makes the perfect gift for anyone interested in Stoicism.
