Would you like to never fall into reaction to emotions? Wouldn't it feel nice to instead maintain a sense of logic and rationality at all times?

When the winds of passion blow, you would stand firm against them, holding tight to what makes sense, resisting emotions as temporary and misleading. If you are unfamiliar with Stoic philosophy then it entails all this, this mindset can come across as cold, but within Stoic philosophy, it is admirable. Maintaining one's calm, Stoics believe, is a point of pride.

Just as Stoic philosophers reject unnecessary excitement, they reject desire and fear outright as well. Anything that tilts the mind or sways the spirit, anything that could prejudice someone against reason, it is all bad. There is no gray area here for Stoics, who view desire and fear as tainting forces, evils that separate us from virtue. If we are to live right, then we must make ourselves aware of desire and fear as they arise and then put them away, leave them in their place, do whatever we need to do to acknowledge them and then prevent them from affecting our thought processes and decision making.

Does this process probably sound familiar? Well, if you have ever practiced mindfulness, stoic philosophy emphasizes accepting the moment as it is - and accepting the moment as a gift in and of itself. So, instead of looking for things to fill our time, Stoic philosophers would express gratitude for the fullness of time as it is, recognizing the wonder in every moment.

Did you know that stoicism was deliberately created to be comprehensible, logical, and beneficial? The study of Stoicism does not require an entirely new lexicon or hours of meditation. This offers an instant, useful, and practical way of finding tranquility and enhancing character strengths which you will find this in the book as follows:

• What is stoicism
• History of stoicism.
• Stoicism and the universe.
• Most famous stoicism philosopher.
• Stoicism and happiness.
• Stoicism modern rules.
• And many more!

It is essential to keep in mind how people thought differently and main concern of the people was to avoid living an unhappy life. We were, therefore, more likely to plan their emotions, actions, and behaviors to encourage greater satisfaction in life. One of the most important things to remember is that people did not automatically believe that they would be satisfied by receiving money, reputation, and beautiful things. We wanted to understand how they could have an outstanding heart of great urgency.

One of the proposed reasons to why Stoicism is gaining popularity once again, is to view its resurgence in the context of an increasingly troubled world. A world whose current conditions share many parallels with the widespread disarray which followed the death of Alexander the Great. Many people are feeling uncertain about the world we live in and the many problems we face, and are searching for more efficient coping mechanisms

Stoicism provides us with the tools not only to develop inner tranquility, but also to build self-reliance, all whilst learning how to act with virtue in accordance with reason and logic. So if you have read through this, grab now a copy of this book, and learn more than you would have ever imagined on Stoicism.
