Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions - not outside. - Marcus Aurelius
Imagine a simple scenario most of us have faced - you're being blamed for a mistake at work, which a colleague did and attributed to you. Your manager is unmoving - you will have to face the repercussions.
Do you?
- Lose sleep due to the unfairness of the situation.
- Become completely fixated to convince your boss you're not the one to blame.
- Start thinking of retaliation strategies.
- Assess the situation with a clear head, provide evidence, state your truth and move on.
The last approach is the most difficult one to master and the one that would yield the best results. It's an approach based on millennia of philosophical wisdom about fate, our strengths, our weaknesses and the way in which we face life's challenges.
This philosophy is called Stoicism.
Stoicism puts you in the driver's seat. It gives you control of the one thing you can really conquer - your mind and your own responses to the world.
The keys to a stronger mind, excellence of character, and a life-well-lived are hidden inside the pages of this book.
