Marcus Zeno
Where does your confidence come from? How do you handle your fears and disappointments?
What about your joy, happiness and strength; where do you get them from? How do you deal with stressful, anxious and depressing thoughts?
In modern times, we tend to direct many of these things to modern day medicine but just ask yourself how far this has brought us; cases of depression, emotional problems, suicides and other mental health problems are at an all-time high! Our mainstream schooling system doesn’t teach us how to deal with real life issues either.
If you look back, you will notice that the reason why ancient people were able to deal with some of the life’s challenges that were unparalleled during those days (plagues that left entire communities, villages or cities wiped out, wars that were the order of the day, having to deal with the threat of wildlife everyday with crude weapons, dealing with the elements etc.) was their schools of philosophy.
The problems they faced were enough to make even the most strong willed of the modern man to fall into depression.
You don’t have to miss the goodness of these ancient philosophies to guide your life, as this actionable guide will introduce stoicism, one of the most documented ancient philosophies on how to live your life so that you deal effectively with anything that life throws at you to become the best version of yourself by mastering how you react to different life occurrences.
Successful people like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Tim Ferriss, Theodore Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, J.K Rowling and many others ascribe to Stoicism for one reason: IT WORKS!
