‘Thought-provoking' Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Daily Stoic
Who am I? What am I doing? How should I live my life?
For more than 2,000 years, Stoicism has offered answers to life’s biggest questions, grounded in one powerful idea: we cannot always control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond.
In this newly expanded edition of How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci draws on the teachings of Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius to show how Stoic wisdom can help us navigate modern life – from managing difficult emotions and setbacks to focusing on what truly matters.
With practical exercises, reflections and a brand-new section on Stoicism today, this is an essential guide to living with greater clarity, resilience and purpose.
Pigliucci’s book does an excellent job writing about each stage of wrestling with a philosophical system, starting with what I’d call the ‘life hack’ stage and progressing through the interrogation stage, the reconciling-of-internal-contradictions (especially between the earlier Greek Stoics and the later Roman Stoics) stage and, finally, into the actual adoption of Stoic exercises, of which he offers a large menu. * New York Times *
