We all want to be kinder and thankful for what we have. We all aspire to be happier, more successful, and free of negative emotions. All we need to achieve our goals is a philosophy of life. Enter Stoicism. What takes someone from good to great? This question has haunted humanity for millennia, engaging the most learned and well-regarded people in finding its answer. Today, we believe that the difference between failure and success, from average to elite, from dead-beat dropout to CEO is the mentality. It might sound like an easy answer but a healthy mentality requires constant work, just like happiness and all the good things in life. To help you achieve that wholesome mentality that takes you from good to great, we analyzed three of the greatest philosophers and broke down their observations on human nature, mentality, and happiness. Seneca. Epictetus. Marcus Aurelius. Before these men became history's greatest philosophers, they had insecurities just like you. We've studied their lives, we've researched their teachings and philosophies of life, and we've extracted key concepts and actionable information for you to better digest Stoicism. Here's a bit of what you'll get in this
...and much, much more! You can do all the right things, check all the right boxes, cross every T and dot every I in life. Still, without the right mentality for success, you'll cap out. On the other hand, stoic principles can take you anywhere. Just ask Angel Cruz, who after a series of arrests and criminal convictions, internalized a principle of Marcus Aurelius's - we are responsible for our own virtue. In prison, he began studying the law, appealed his own case, and was granted clemency. Today he runs his own legal practice and is a candidate for civil court judge. Such a transformation is possible only with the right mindset. That's why we've distilled the greatest philosophers in history, down to the essentials for you. This book is full of actionable stoic principles applicable to your professional and personal life.

The idea to live a virtuous life is appealing. How to live it is the question. This book presents complex ideas from ancient philosophers in an easier to understand relationship to current times. Easier to understand des not mean easier to do. Simple ideas can be the most difficult to accomplish but many attempts to understand can all of a sudden click and bring success.
Much better book than its companion. You get biographies and quotes from three major ancient stoics with some commentary and examples from the modern world life. Learned quite a bit.
This was not nearly as good as the first,the section on Seneca was great but the section on Marcus Aurelia was hard to get through making me skip several pages.
