Description
Discover the fascinating world of Stoicism in this beginner's guide to a great and unageing philosophy.
The ancient art of Stoicism was founded in Greece during the fourth century BCE, and it is still as relevant today as ever before. With the virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice at its core, it's little wonder that many people are turning to this timeless philosophy in the hope of achieving eudaimonia, or "a life well lived".
But who was it that founded Stoicism? How did its key principles develop? And how has it evolved over the years?
The answers lie in this fascinating little book. Perfect for beginners and seasoned Stoics alike, this pocket-sized guide is brimming with history, wisdom, and guidance. Inside, you will discover the key thinkers that defined Stoicism, how it came to flourish and later decline, and finally, its resurgence in the contemporary era.
With the help of great sages like Marcus Aurelius and Zeno of Citium, you too can adopt Stoic virtues and begin your own journey towards a happier, more fulfilled existence.
Explore The Little Book of Stoicism by Rasha Barrage and embark on your path to enduring wisdom.
