If you have been struggling with the big questions: Who am I? How can I find my purpose? Stoicism has the answers.

In Secrets of the Stoics, you will learn about three of the most influential ancient Stoics: Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca. You will discover the importance of Stoicism in their daily lives and how it helped them cope with the highs and lows of life, before facing death with resilience and acceptance.

Along the way, you will find out:

• How to respond with love in the most challenging situations
• How a journaling habit can help you be more effective in your daily life and how to get started
• How to stop worrying about things that are outside of your control and find inner peace
• Be more intentional in your thoughts, feelings, and actions to create the life you really want
• How the Stoics practised mindfulness and how you can use it to make the most of any situation

And that’s just the start. There is so much to be learned from the ancient Stoic philosophers and so much they can teach us about how to survive and thrive in modern society. As Marcus Aurelius wrote, “Today I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions — not outside.”

Review: This book has given me a fresh and realistic outlook on life. By reading it I have become far more pragmatic, practical and realistic in my approach to endeavours. It has also helped with my reaction to the inevitable setbacks I encounter. A great read.
