Overview

We all experience fear, worry and anxiety to some degree.
It can be due to work, money, our children, the state of the planet or a thousand other things.

But can we do anything about it?

This book, Stoic Philosophy, strives to answer that question with a look at the modern world in which we live and how it contributes to our state of mind. It examines the Hellenistic philosophical doctrine of ethics that became popular thousands of years ago, but which still reverberates today and has its place in modern times as well.

Inside, you will learn about:
• Becoming free from negative emotions
• Enjoying life and being happy
• Self-assessing the fear and anxiety you suffer from
• Dealing with anger, grief and loss
• The root causes of worry
• And much more...
Learning the values of being stoic can help us with our mental and physical wellbeing in ways you may never have anticipated. By finding ways to react to individual situations, you will find that a worry-free and better life is waiting for you.

You can live a much happier life by simply changing the attitudes you have developed. Reading Stoic Philosophy is the first step on your journey!
