About Stoicism And The Art Of Happiness: Practical Wisdom

Product Description The Stoics lived a long time ago, but they had some startling insights into the human condition-insights which endure to this day. The philosophical tradition, founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in 301 BC, endured as an active movement for almost 500 years, and contributions from dazzling minds such as Cicero, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius helped create a body of thought with an extraordinary goal-to provide a rational, healthy way of living in harmony with the nature of the universe and in respect of our relationships with each other. In many ways a precursor to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Stoicism provides an armamentarium of strategies and techniques for developing psychological resilience, while celebrating all in life which is beautiful and important. By learning what Stoicism is, you can revolutionize your life and learn how to seize the day, live happily and be a better person. This simple, empowering book shows how to use this ancient wisdom to make practical, positive changes in your life. Using thought-provoking case studies, highlighting key ideas and things to remember and providing tools for self-assessment, it demonstrates that Stoicism is a proven, profound pathway to happiness. From the Author This book is part of Hodder's popular Teach Yourself series and follows a structured self-help format, designed to make it easy to learn and remember key pieces of information and practical techniques.  I'd already published a book about the relationship between Stoicism and cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy but people kept asking me for a self-help guide that would introduce them to the subject and allow them to start applying Stoic wisdom in their daily lives.  This book was written to do just that and proved so popular that a revised second edition was commissioned, which adds a chapter on the Stoic contemplation of death. From the Back Cover Ancient truths that will revolutionize your life.  The Stoics had some useful and startling insights into the human condition.  By learning to understand their philosophy, you will discover a genuinely revolutionary set of strategies for living your life.
