Download or read book The Practicing Stoic written by Ward Farnsworth and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2018 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most helpful and practical philosophy ever devised. The advice the Stoics provided centuries ago is still the best anyone has offered and it's as useful today as it was then-or more. Stoicism means knowing the difference between what we can control and what we can't, and not worrying about the latter. The Stoics were masters of perspective, always taking the long view while remembering that life is short. And they were deep and insightful students of human nature, understanding how we manage to make ourselves miserable as well as how we seek and can find fulfillment. The great insights of the Stoics are spread over a wide range of ancient sources. Ward Farnsworth brings them all together and systematically presents what the various Stoic philosophers said on every important topic, accompanied by an eloquent commentary that is clear and concise. The result is a set of philosophy lessons for everyone-the most valuable wisdom of ages past made available for our times.

Download or read book The Obstacle Is the Way written by Ryan Holiday and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller The Obstacle is the Way has become a cult classic, beloved by men and women around the world who apply its wisdom to become more successful at whatever they do. Its many fans include a former governor and movie star (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a hip hop icon (LL Cool J), an Irish tennis pro (James McGee), an NBC sportscaster (Michele Tafoya), and the coaches and players of winning teams like the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Cubs, and University of Texas men’s basketball team. The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Ryan Holiday shows us how some of the most successful people in history—from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs—have applied stoicism to overcome difficult or even impossible situations. Their embrace of these principles ultimately mattered more than their natural intelligence, talents, or luck. If you’re feeling frustrated, demoralized, or stuck in a rut, this book can help you turn your problems into your biggest advantages. And along the way it will inspire you with dozens of true stories of the greats from every age and era.

Download or read book The Manual written by Sam Torode and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If it is beyond your power to control, let it go.""Do not wish that all things will go well with you, but that you will go well with all things.""In this way, you will overcome life's challenges, rather than be overcome by them." Epictetus (c. AD 50-135) was a former Roman slave who became a great teacher, deeply influencing the future emperor Marcus Aurelius among many others. His philosophy, Stoicism, was practical, not theoretical--aimed at relieving human suffering here and now. Epictetus knew suffering--besides being enslaved, he was lame in one leg and walked with a crutch. The Manual is a collection of Epictetus' essential teachings and pithy sayings, compiled by one of his students. It is the most accessible and actionable guide to Stoic philosophy, as relevant today as it was in the Roman Empire.This new edition, published by Ancient Renewal, is rendered in contemporary English by Sam Torode.

Download or read book Aizai the Forgotten The Soul Wanderers written by Mary-Jean Harris and published by MuseItUp Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen-year old Wolfdon dreams of travelling to Aizai, a forgotten realm connected to our world by invisible sol-lines. He begins his search as a "word-warrior" in his hometown in France in the late 17th century, hunting for rare books that mention Aizai. One obscure book, by the philosopher Paulo de la Costa Santamiguero, has given him a lead to start his journey-to go to the northern coast of Spain where a portal to Aizai supposedly exists. With a noble horse he borrows from an astrologer and armed with a strange magical device, Wolfdon travels to a place that surpasses even his vivid imagination, with walking statues, animals with glowing gems of power, beautiful towers and misty valleys, and Aizians whose magic is innate to their souls. He meets many peculiar characters, from the cryptic Philosophers of the Eastern Empyrean to beautiful Aizians and dark magicians. Though death and danger loom ever near, nothing can dim the brightness of Aizai kindling within Wolfdon's heart. Yet as he strives to discover Aizai's secrets and fate, a frightening truth becomes perilously near, and may cost Wolfdon everything, including the future.

Download or read book Stoicism written by Poul West and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use stoic philosophy and wisdom to manage your everyday emotions! You can also read this book FOR FREE on Kindle Unlimited In todays society there will be demands and distractions coming from every direction at any time of the day. It can be hard to feel like you're in control of anything and it can result in pure frustration.But trust me, there is one thing you can control, and that's YOU.By adopting stoic philosophy you will learn what it really means to be in control and you will learn to accept and adapt to all the things you can't control.The modern society is a chaotic place and I would recommend Here is a chunk from the subchapter "Conform to reality":"We often make travel plans assuming that there will be no traffic delays, assume that we won't burn the risotto while making supper, or set off on a hike without thinking that it might rain. Yet we have enough past experience to know that these are far from sure-fire outcomes. The Stoics advocate taking a very clear-eyed view of things. Stoicism is a realistic outlook, one that doesn't try to fight against the laws of nature or the facts about the world. Attempting to make reality conform to our wishes and desires is futile. The only sensible thing to do is to conform our expectations to reality. But this is not a philosophy of helplessness and powerlessness. Far from it. We should still strive to change the world for the better. In fact, one of the most famous Stoics, Marcus Aurelius, was the emperor of Rome, and he did not spend his tenure sitting on his hands waiting for the whole thing to blow by! The Stoics were men of action, they were doers. They did not give up their personal battles, their political quests, or their professional goals-they simply approached them with realistic expectations. We can try to effect change and work to improve things, but whether we succeed or not is out of our hands. It is up to us to eat better and exercise regularly so that we can stay healthy and fit, but it is beyond our control to guarantee that we won't become ill or injured. We can hold political rallies, vote according to our conscience, and engage in consciousness-raising campaigns, but we should do so while always being aware that political and cultural tides can shift away from progress despite our best efforts. It doesn't mean we shouldn't do these things-this is not a philosophy of resignation-it just means that there is no sense in acting entirely shocked and surprised when things don't pan out the way we wished. We should always remain aware that the outcomes are out of our control.We should, in other words, not put up a pointless fight against reality, but strive to live in harmony with it." Here is what you'll learn in this book: Part 1: Introduction to Stoicism The Historical Background What Is Stoicism? Part 2: The Seven Themes of Stoicism Stoic Moral Philosophy Recognize What Is Under Your Control Conform to Reality Understand Your Emotions Freedom of the Will Live Virtuously Be Calm in the Face of Adversity Make the Best of Any Situation Part 3: Using Stoicism to Better Your Life Expectations and Well-being Social Anxiety Fear of Death Achieve Your Goals Deal with Chaos Fight Depression Get this book by clicking the orange "buy now" button at the top of this page!
