Chapter 1: What Is Meant by Stoicism?

For those of us who live our lives in the real world, there is one branch of philosophy created just for us: Stoicism. It's an approach created to make us more resistant, happy, more virtuous and more sensible-- and subsequently, better individuals, better parents and better professionals.

Stoicism has been a common thread though some of history's great leaders. It has been practiced by Kings, presidents, artists, authors and business owners. Marcus Aurelius. Frederick the Great, Theodore Roosevelt, Adam Smith, Montaigne, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, General James Mattis-- just among others-- were all influenced by Stoic philosophy.

So what's Stoicism? We will answer this question and more in this guide.

The private diaries of one of Rome's biggest emperors, the personal letters of one of Rome's best playwrights and wisest power brokers, the lectures of a previous servant and exile, turned prominent instructor. Against all chances, some 2 millennia later, these extraordinary documents survive. They contain some of the best wisdom in the history of the world and together, they constitute the bedrock of what's referred to as Stoicism-- an old philosophy that was once one of the most well-known civic disciplines in the West, practiced by the wealthy and the impoverished, the effective and the having a tough time in the pursuit of the Good Life.

To the typical person, this dynamic, action-oriented, and paradigm-shifting way of living has become shorthand for emotionlessness. Given the simple fact that the mere reference of philosophy makes most people worried or bored, Stoic philosophy on the surface area seems like the last thing anybody would want to find out about, let alone urgently need in the course of daily
