How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life

Being a stoic in the modern world is no more difficult than in ancient Greece. To do this, you need to have peace of mind to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what is possible, and wisdom to always distinguish one from the other. In his book How to be a Stoic, the famous American philosopher and biologist Massimo Pigliucci offers the reader a fascinating journey into the depths of this ancient philosophy, and chooses the ancient Greek Stoic Epictetus as a guide. Stoicism is a very modern philosophy that teaches how to make the right decisions, manage anger, accept criticism, how to deal with death - your own and those of your loved ones. But the main question that stoicism answers is how to live correctly.
