Learn from the wisdom of the ancients with this practical workbook filled with more than 100 unique writing prompts and exercises, plus inspirational quotes.

"We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can choose how we react to them." This timeless wisdom by Roman philosopher Epictetus is just as relevant today as it was when he recorded it over 2,000 years ago. In Everyday Stoicism Journal, you'll learn how to apply ancient insight like this to modern life through writing and reflection.

This accessible introduction to Stoicism introduces this school of philosophy's major tenets, including:

  • Practising acceptance
  • Mastering your emotions
  • Mastering your thoughts
  • Living in gratitude
  • Cultivating wisdom

Using writing prompts and exercises, you'll develop skills for living what the Stoics called a virtuous and well-lived life. With daily attention to developing your own character, you'll find the serenity and peace of mind you seek. Managing your thoughts and your mind in a new way, you'll be on your way to achieving what the Stoics called eudaimonia, or a happy life.

With so much of our lives and contact going digital, the Guided Workbooks offer an intimate way to nurture your connection with yourself and the people around you. An entertaining way to get off your screen, the pages in these guided prompt books are great for writers and first-timers alike. Each workbook offers content around a different, compelling theme, filled with thoughtful questions, inspiration for composition, and interactive prompts to learn about yourself and the world around you.

Beautifully designed on high-quality paper stock and full of mindful prompts, channel your inspiration as you put pen to paper to learn more about what inspires you.

Other books in the series include: 5-Minute Productivity Workbook, 3-Minute Positivity Workbook, 52 Weeks to Better Mental Health, Tarot: A Guided Workbook to Unlock and Explore Your Magickal Intuition, Astrology: A Guided Workbook to Understand and Explore the Wisdom of the Universe, and Finding Your Balance: A Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Workbook.
