Stoicism is an ancient school of philosophy, first developed around 300BCE. Inside this book, we will explore exactly how Stoicism came to be, some of the greatest Stoics in history, what the virtues and values of a Stoic are, and how Stoicism can enhance your life. Despite being incredibly interesting as well as effective, Stoicism is not for everyone. Living the life of a Stoic often requires a lot of sacrifice, as well as discipline. As you will also discover, there is no such thing as a perfect Stoic. It is an ongoing daily effort to live life in line with the Stoic values and virtues, continually striving to become better.
