Publisher's summary

We live in a fast-paced world that has come to characterize the 21st century. We are bombarded with constant distractions, and silence has all but vanished from our daily schedule and practice. We are collectively exhausted, but we don’t really realize it. The exhaustion manifests in sicknesses we can’t identify, and if we can, it’s something we can’t pronounce. We batter ourselves against the daily onslaught that has become our lives.

We all need a break, and we all need answers on how to stop this fast-moving wreck in motion. The answer it turns out has been in front of us all along and within us even longer. The Stoics figured it out two and a half millennia ago and practiced it with great results. Maybe it can help us now too.

Stoicism has two aspects - the theory and the academics of it, and wanting to read or listen to the texts that fall into that category is a good thing, but this is not that. This book is about how one practices Stoicism in their daily life here and now. It is for this century, this decade.

Is the solution here? No. The solution is within each of us. What you will find here, though, is the way to extract the solution that is already within you. It’s as simple as that.

So what are you waiting for? Scroll up and click the "buy now" to find the solution you've been searching for!

I love this book

I am so happy I found this book. It is great for daily listening. It is set up so that each chapter has a quote for the day and then the analysis and interpretation of that quote as it applies to life today.

Awesome book

Awesome book. Illuminating. The Stoics were ahead of their time on self-help and Mr. Kyle Faber zeros in on why. Buy this book and help yourself get out of your own way; help yourself banish impulsive and emotional reactions; and help yourself realize the great potential that exists in all of us.

The best part of my morning routine

This book has been an absolute game changer for my morning routine. Each chapter is associated with one day of the year, . Kyle does an incredible job distilling ancient Stoic principals into easy to understand, modern language. I look forward to listening what that morning's thoughts are going to be, and honest to goodness it's made me a morning person. Perspective is greatly needed in the world today and this book gives you just that.

This book is my Bible

I'm not a very religious person but I am passionate about living an intentional, happy and stoic life and teaching my kids the right principles to live by. I listen this book every morning with my kids and love all of the lessons that come from it. I have learned so much from Kyle and the Stoics and continue to learn daily. I have also given this book as a gift to many friends. I love it.

Keeps me grounded

I’ve enjoyed the study and practice of Stoicism and this book is part of my practice. Themed by month and something to think about and practice every day.

Great book

Great book filled with all the self acceptance you could ever need. You won't become a Roman Emperor or a slave from listening these daily meditations, those positions are already filled. You will become better adapted to this thing called life. And, I dare say, more contented.
