Stoicism is a school of philosophy that believes virtue is based on knowledge and reason which enables you to rise above your emotions and allows you to control what you can and let go of what you cannot. The Stoic way of thinking allows you to thoughtfully process and accept situations while giving you the power to choose how you react, handle, and cope.

Many great leaders and thinkers of our time have sought guidance from Stoic philosophy, including George Washington, Immanuel Kant, Walt Whitman and Theodore Roosevelt, to name a few.

For many, Stoicism is a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance and wisdom. Living a more stoic life will give you the opportunity to live a mentally healthier, more balanced and overall happier life.

My dad gave me this for Christmas and I’ve been reading it a little at a time throughout the year! One quote I liked was “You become what you give your attention to.” - Epictetus

I picked up this little book of Stoic quotations at Barnes and Noble. I started reading and I couldn't put it down until I finished. It only took me about 20 minutes. Like a physician the words of a good philosopher can heal an agitated soul. My favorite quote is from Marcus Aurelius:

"Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the mountains...nowhere can a man find a retreat more peaceful or free from trouble than his own soul."
