LIFE ADVICE From the Wisest People Ever
How to deal with adversity. Follow your passion. Be courageous. Be a better person. Be true to yourself. Live in the present.
This second volume builds on Volume I in this series (which includes an introduction to Stoicism and six months of Stoic wisdom) and provides another six months of daily exercises that help one cultivate the four Stoic virtues of courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom. As with each volume, the journal juxtaposes the wise words of the Stoics with proverbs and quotes from across the ages and across many cultures. The quotes are annotated with a daily question that prompts you to reflect upon your life, your values, and your actions and thus cultivate these timeless virtues.
Braver, kinder, calmer, composed, perseverant, empathetic, reflective, reliable, insightful... These are a few of the many attributes that our Stoic guides, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus, urge us to cultivate. Their advice, and variants of it, from the pens of hundreds of notable personalities, past and present, such as Lao Tzu, Confucius, Jesus, Buddha, Jordan Peterson, Jung, Nietzsche, Frankl, Adler, Fromm, Socrates, Aristotle, Shakespeare, J.K. Rowling, Margaret Atwood, Bruce Lee, Muhammed Ali, Maya Angelou, Oprah and more are brought to life in your own Stoic Virtues Journal.
