The Power to Change

The Power to Change shows how to use Stoic principles to create a successful life and provides a clear road map and directions to get there. It will guide you in designing a life that flows well and dealing with problems that arise in everyday living.

More than two thousand years ago, a group of philosophers known as the Stoics analysed life's predicaments and came up with simple solutions. The principles they identified were so profound that they formed the basis of many major modern psychotherapies. They are easy to use and powerful and can be applied to modern life and its problems. Often, we don't pay much attention to simple principles because we don't believe simple things can be effective, but when understood and consistently practised, simple principles can have a profound effect on our lives.

The problems are real. The solutions are accessible. Each chapter in The Power to Change is bite-sized and actionable, focusing on common, day-to-day challenges—from anxiety, self-sabotage, and overthinking to resilience, habits, and productivity—and giving you easy-to-apply tools to overcome them.

Practising them is not difficult. But practising consistently is where most of us fail. The Power to Change is packed with tools and exercises to help you practice consistently, bypass every motivational plateau, and reach the big payoff.
