Summary

Stoicism is an active philosophy. That means that it is not enough to know its doctrines; one must also live them and develop habits that expand on and complete their ideas in practice. Practice, therefore, is also the focus of this audiobook, as well as the development of the listener’s inner and outer lives, that they may follow their own path and discover what it means to “live life in accordance with nature”.

You will discover Stoicism and how to apply it.

The audiobook includes a general introduction to Stoicism that pulls no punches when faced with the more complex aspects of Stoic doctrine.

Topics addressed include:

  • The history of the ancient Stoics.
  • The nature of good and evil, virtue and vice, and positive and negative externals.
  • The difference between those things in our control and those things not in our control.
  • Stoic logic and practical reasoning.
  • Stoicism’s role in the development of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
  • Stoic exercises and daily practice.
  • Theology’s role in Stoicism and Stoic cosmology.

Also included in the bundle is an audiobook titled Daily Stoic Journal on Meditation, Stoicism, Wisdom and Philosophy to Improve Your Life.

The audiobook is a collection of Stoic sayings organized to allow daily reference and inspiration.

Including quotes from:

  • Marcus Aurelius
  • Seneca
  • Epictetus
  • And much more.

The Stoic advice covered in this volume runs the gambit from personal problems, to interpersonal relationships, to advice on work and productivity, to dealing with the hand of fate. Meditations in this audiobook are split up by seasons. There are meditations for each season, covering the four seasons.

Face the world with a new light with the help of these immortal thinkers and learn both to conquer yourself and to come to terms with those things you cannot control. Get your hands on this amazing Stoicism collection and bundle of ancient Greek philosophy!

sufficient for stoic is a virtue

Stoicism flourished throughout the Roman and Greek world until the 3rd century AD, and among its adherents was Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Stoicism is predominantly a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world.

excellent daily reminder

It was an excellent daily reminder of how to properly view the world and served as a nice primer to Stoic thought. This book is probably meant for people who have never encountered Stoicism and would be a good start, but not for people already working towards Stoicism. Readers would do better to listen to and meditate from a stoic instead. It is completely based on practical understandings and tools we can adopt to live better lives. A fantastic, inspirational and concise, this book is the perfect way of absorbing and putting into practice the teachings of some of the greatest philosophers to have lived.

expanding knowledgeable thing

Even more pressing questions are raised when we face our own human realm, with the long and still expanding record of genocide and atrocity and the manslaughter that followed. These are major challenges for the Ancient stoic view of the world as rational and essentially good being.
