365 LESSONS FROM THE STOICS

With quotes from Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, transform your daily life using the Stoics' wisdom and understanding. They teach acceptance, virtue and cooperation with nature for personal growth with focus on resilience and self-enrichment, as relevant now as when first practiced by these influential thinkers. Digestible, themed quotations provide insights into the central Stoic virtues of wisdom, courage, justice and temperance - the four Stoic virtues that students of philosophy strive to cultivate through reading, reasoning, dialogue and habitual practices. Stoicism is a philosophy of action, not just theory and there virtue ethics continue to shape philosophy and theology notably in the work of Descartes, Spinoza and Pascal up to today with the development of rational emotive behaviour therapy and then cognitive behavioural therapy. Stoicism has found a partner in modern scientific enquiry and application and the 21st century has seen a resurgence of interest in the philosophy now given a new name, Modern Stoicism with a focus on the prevention of potential mental health issues.
