The potential for gargantuan reframing

Although many people think that stoicism is a kind of pushing down and bottling up of emotions and not expressing anything, it’s actually not that at all. In fact, it invokes an urge to get in touch with oneself and question life’s great mysteries.

Steve Allayev present listeners with the classic stoic principals (ancient self-awareness approaches to what were potentially once overwhelming emotions–anger, stress, and such), but also give listeners the tools to approach life with a powerful new outlook that has the potential to reframe basically everything we do.

Loved this!

What a great message this audiobook delivers—stoicism for modern times. When I am feeling out of control and overwhelmed by all the stress with my job and family life, I often listen to this audiobook on the way home in the car. It gives me great perspective, and the quotes and wisdom of stoicism always ring true and make me realize I need to focus on myself and being strong—not waste my time and energy on things I cannot control.
