How to be a Stoic

An ancient philosophy, stoicism is about acknowledging our emotions, reflecting on what causes them and redirecting them for our own good. Whenever we worry about how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. Massimo Pigliucci explores this ancient and yet remarkably modern road and how its wisdom can be applied to our everyday lives in the quest for something more meaningful. His journey through stoicism teaches us the importance of a person's character, integrity and compassion. Whoever we are, we can take something away from stoicism, and in How to be a Stoic, with its practical tips and exercises, meditations and mindfulness, it shows us its relevance and significance in every part of life.
