Stoicism: A Deeper Insight into Stoicism in Modern Society to Life Long Habits of Self Discipline, Self Control, and Mental Toughness
There are many hidden gems in history that if uncovered, could unleash so much physical and intellectual wealth, which we need to restore our society back to glory, in the midst of the transformative changes brought by modernism. The Stoic philosophy is one such gem. It is an ancient philosophy developed to make people happy.
Many times, people seek happiness in the wrong activities, the wrong people and in the wrong things. The majority focuses on achievement so much that they forfeit the joy of the moment. Others are passive bystanders, and they derive a sense of satisfaction from criticizing and talking about other people. This book addresses both groups. The bystanders are advised to focus on their issues with the promise that an inward look and the development of virtue will bring you the most success. The overachievers are also advised to take a moment and relax, focus less on achievement and take the time to appreciate their surroundings.
This book provides a comprehensive discussion of all that relates to stoicism. It sets the foundation that stoicism was developed based on ethics, physics, and logic. The book also lists a number of philosophers that have been instrumental in the shaping and making of this philosophy including Seneca the Younger, Cato the Younger, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus. These wise minds helped to challenge, question, approve and even develop the Stoic philosophy.
You will also find therein, a comprehensive description of the Stoic disciplines, including desire, action, and assent. The discipline of desire is based on an understanding of physics, which explains how the world works. The discipline of assent advocates for the application of logic to daily living while the discipline of action advocates for the application of ethics to daily living. These three disciplines are the basis for the Stoic virtues, which are wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. Upon these virtues is a list of principles enumerated in the book that when practiced, will lead you to live the happiest life possible.
Included also is a schedule listing of activities that you can do every day, from the morning throughout the day, and in the evening, to aid the uptake of this esteemed philosophy. If philosophy has stood its ground since the third decade, it surely is worthy of you trying out and practicing, especially because it is meant to ensure that you live a happy fulfilled life.
Inside this book you will find:
An ordered schedule listing giving you a schedule of activities to do to practice stoicism
Genre: PSYCHOLOGY / GeneralBeginning from the third century, the Stoic way of life has been utilized and its foundations or ideologies have proven unshakeable. Stoicism is a well-founded theory with subjects, disciplines, virtues, principles, and applications. Its primary role is to encourage people to live happy lives by only caring about what is in their control, and letting nature take its course on issues that are beyond control. You certainly took note of the fact that Stoicism encourages its followers to take the path of least resistance, and instead, to take life as it comes. Of course, this is not meant to encourage complacency, but it encourages people to avoid losing battles and instead, focus on what is of most importance and benefit in life.
The next step is to get your feet wet and to begin to apply and take up the principles, virtues, disciplines and the lessons you have learned. It is of no use reading and understanding without testing them for yourself to know whether they work. You may find that you will lead a happier life, focused on the important things of life, and eventually be able to achieve much more than anticipated.
Begin the journey to true happiness today, and take up the daily practices for yourself. Teach others to do the same, and become part of the movement that teaches people how to be happy without letting life pass you by.
Finally, if you found this book useful in any way, a review on Amazon is always appreciated!
