About this listen

Learn about the history and philosophy of Stoicism - and how to apply its principles to your everyday life.

The ancient philosophy of Stoicism is currently experiencing somewhat of a revival in 21st-century popular culture, mainly because of its rational and logical approach to the challenges of our time. There has been a proliferation of Stoic references in modern movies and fiction, further increasing its popularity among a younger section of society that would normally not be interested in an apparently pure academic pursuit such as the study of philosophy.

This audiobook will provide you, the prospective student of Stoic philosophy, with a broader understanding of the people and forces that combined to create one of the most enduring and influential philosophies of all time.

Furthermore, we’ll explore how you can apply Stoic principles to your everyday life - and how this will help you develop your character, stay calm in the face of adversity, and achieve greater success in your life.

During the course of this audiobook, you will learn about:

  • The origins of Stoicism
  • Zeno of Citium and the first school of Stoicism
  • Seneca the Younger
  • Epictetus and the discourses
  • The meditations of Marcus Aurelius
  • Stoicism’s influence on Roman life and thought
  • Stoic philosophy today
  • Applying Stoic principles to your everyday life
  • And more!

Begin your journey to Stoic mastery!

great deal of information

It allows you to feel blessed and achieve instead a sense of happiness. This book provides an immediate halt to negative emotions.Another interesting insight of Stoicism is to recognize and accept that there are external events that are simply outside of your control, and the best way to deal with them is simply to control yourself and your responses.

Definitely helpful guide

It was a nice, refreshing and informative listening that provided me with a sweet overview of what it means to be Stoic. I am so glad that they did because I no only enjoyed listening, I was able to take away some new knowledge and practices to use in my daily life.
