Synopsis

Even though Stoicism has been around for over 2,300 years, practically everything that the early Stoics wrote for the first three hundred years is lost. So, we need to reconstruct Stoicism from secondary writings and from the writings of the later Stoics. It is difficult to know where to begin. A clear guide to Stoicism, even if it is not perfect, is a good place to start. Once we have the basics in place it is easy to build upon them. That's where this book comes in. What does this book aim to do?A clear road mapWe may know a lot about Stoicism and yet may not have a clear road map for achieving the Stoic goal of a life that runs smoothly. When we say that we don't have the time to practice something, it is often the case that we don't have clarity on how to practice. But if we have a road map, we spend less time in confusion, second guessing ourselves and wondering whether we have made the right decision. Stoic concepts such as 'living according to nature' or 'practicing wisdom', etc. may mean different things to different people. What do they really mean in everyday life? How does one practice these precepts?Without a clear road map, it is easy to lose our way. A clear action planStudying exercise physiology won't build muscles.
