Discover the path to a more contented, fulfilled life through the teachings of Stoic philosophers, from Marcus Aurelius to Epictetus. Learn how to build resilience, foster inner peace, and harness self-control.

Stoic philosophy is not an armchair philosophy: it was designed by the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers to be used in day-to-day life, and their teachings offer a host of simple, practical ideas to maximise positivity in our lives.

Tackling a key theme each month, from Happiness and Health to Money and Politics, Everyday Stoicism guides you through the calendar year to build a toolkit of simple exercises and practical ideas for how to live these values every day.

So, harness the collective wisdom of the ancient Stoic philosophers today and discover the joy of everyday stoicism.
