The Truth: If you observe the modern world, then you can quite clearly see that we don't necessarily get happier as we get older; we often stay stuck in the same patterns of thought which lead us to dealing with the same set of struggles over and over. We go to school to learn how to do a job, but we do not have a set curriculum in which we learn about our own selves. What to expect: The first part of the book will review the basic principles of Stoic thinking, giving you a firm foundation for how to incorporate these ideas into your daily life. The second part of the book will walk you through the 6 essential practices, providing you with specific exercises that you can follow in order to fully embrace the stoic way of living. What is Stoicism and Self Mastery? Stoic philosophy is a vision of personal ethics suggesting that the road to happiness is paved with virtue, which arises from exercising self-discipline and cultivating personal wisdom in addition to avoiding excesses of emotion and destructive passions. Employing the tools of stoicism, we can pursue self-mastery. This is a commitment of never-ending improvement and being in control of your own desires and impulses. The true gift of life is unlocked when you figure this out. When you have mastered yourself, you are no longer enslaved by emotions such as anger and fear. The 6 essential practices covered in this book will retrain your mindset, opening up possibilities for a greater sense of peace and happiness in your everyday life.
