Do you want to better understand the history of stoicism? Its main tenets? How it can be applied to modern living? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Stoicism is the right book for you.This book features an extensive amount of information on stoicism, including the origins of stoicism, virtue in stoicism, stoicism and psychology, stoicism and the emotions, spiritual learning in stoicism, friendships and love in stoicism, dealing with negative emotions in stoicism, spiritual exercises to become a better stoic, and stoicism's relationships to Christianity. Each of these topics includes lots of intricacies that can only be fully understood with intensive practice and study, so do take care to let these messages of the ancients seep into your mind, allowing you to receive as much as possible from these timeless teachings.Stoic philosophy is a Hellenistic virtue ethic that was founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens around the year 300 BC. The main schools of thought at this time and place consisted of the Platonic Academics, the Stoics, the Epicureans, and the Peripatetics, all ranked here in order of their popularity among the Athenian public. For the most part, all of these schools were influenced by and benefited from one another, though it was not uncommon that they would clash from time to time.Above all, the Stoics valued virtue and the following of logos or the divine reason. These are the two main tenets of this philosophical system. In addition, they also advised against trying to influence external realities that we cannot control, as well as taking the rash criticisms of others' to heart.With all of these basics in mind, it is no wonder why stoicism has a lot to offer modern people. This philosophy of self-sufficiency is especially useful for people today who are often more considerate of their image in the eyes of others than they are their own self-image. One transcendental philosopher (Ralph Waldo Emerson) would later go on to extol the value in remaining an individual within a crowd, as opposed to retreating from society or to conforming to the will of others. This viewpoint was initiated by the early Stoics, who taught us that it is only through our individual practice of virtue that we can find happiness. In this age of social media and petty tyranny, we have more than ever to learn from these early thinkers, so those of us who do listen to their lessons are put at a great advantage in doing so.This philosophical tradition is also notable in its similarities to Christianity. With this being said, it becomes a great system for Christians to learn and latch onto with ease, despite the fact that this system differs from the religion in a few ways.If all of this sounds like your ideal book, then hop on over and hit now that buy button!Well, stress no more!
