It is so common to hear about mindfulness and meditation these days. I always assumed that these ways of being and thinking originated in Eastern cultures. How refreshing to learn that the West also has a deep tradition of thoughtfulness and conscious living. This Guide to Stoicism beautifully describes how ancient thought-keepers lived mindfully and how we can, too. Thank you for this enlightening text. Recommended to anyone interested in deepening their wisdom and calming their stress in the modern era.
