Get grounded in your personal non-negotiables and radically let go of the rest: this is Stoicism that works for women. It will help you reclaim your sanity, serenity, and ultimately, your life.
It is impossible to become the best version of yourself while you are lost in everyone else's needs. Yet women's lives are too often governed by the mental load of societal expectations at home, work, in the mirror, and online. The Self-Sovereign Woman offers an ancient philosophy as a practical remedy for the modern woman who's had enough and is ready to live from her integrity, reclaim her wellbeing, and come home to herself.
Writer and pro-aging activist Wendy Euler introduces a vision of Stoicism that speaks directly to women's lives. While the 2,000-year-old philosophy was originally founded by men, and has enjoyed a modern resurgence, its core principles belong to anyone willing to practice them. And few people stand to benefit more than women, who have spent a lifetime carrying expectations that were never theirs to begin with. Now is the time to stop taking sh*t, start letting go of what doesn't serve you, and claim Stoicism as a path to your own freedom.
This book is your invitation to self-sovereignty--in your body and style, your digital life, your career, your relationships, and beyond. By practicing acceptance of what you can't control and courageous agency over what you can, Wendy shows you how to personalize timeless Stoic principles to:
- identify your daily non-negotiables,
- escape the algorithm that's keeping you down,
- live lighter by releasing what no longer works for you,
- and, ultimately, experience eudaimonia--the deep wellbeing that blossoms when you live in alignment with your peace, and your personal power.
Serenity is an inside job. The Self-Sovereign Woman is your indispensable guide to creating a life rooted in self-trust, a life you can finally call your own.
