Greeks To Geeks: Practical Stoicism in the 21st Century by Rohan Healy

Description

Welcome to the timeless wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophy of Stoicism. It can seem almost impossible to be happy and healthy in this results based age of materialism, the constant terrifying news in the media, coupled with the recent economic crisis. An age where stress and depression are so pervasive that they have become just another part of daily life for so many people. I am here to tell you it does not have to be this way. Through years of studying and practicing Stoic philosophy I have whittled down the teachings into a series of practical guidelines using every day, real life examples combined with a series of fun exercises. Find out what is truly within your power and what is not, learn about how it is your opinions and beliefs that create your outlook and your actions, learn how to use Stoic questioning and reasoning to solve real life problems, gain a real sense of freedom and much more. I first found Stoicism when dealing with a nervous breakdown, I had given up all hope, Stoicism saved my life, and I’ve never looked back. This is the very first book of it's kind. While much has already been written on the theory and history of Stoicism, with only a little written on the practical application, now, for the first time we have the definitive introduction to the practical aspects of every day Stoicism in the modern age for the alleviation of stress, depression, bullying as well as work and relationship problems. Come and see why myself and a growing number of people around the world have turned to the ancient teachings of Stoicism for a happier, healthier and more meaningful life. It’s not a religion, it’s not a cult, it’s not a fad, just common sense.
