Stoicism Today: Selected Writings (Volume Two)

Stoicism, the classical philosophy as a way of life practised by the Greeks and Romans, continues to resonate in the modern world. With over forty essays and reflections, this book is simultaneously a guide to practising Stoicism in your own life and to all the different aspects of the modern Stoic revival. You will learn about Stoic practical wisdom, virtue, how to relate wisely to others and the nature of Stoic joy. You will read of life-stories by those who practise Stoicism today, coping with illness and other adversities, and of how Stoicism can be helpful in many areas of modern life, from cultivating calm in the online world to contributing new solutions to the environmental crisis. And, just like the ancient Stoics did, key questions modern Stoics often ask are debated such as: Do you need God to be a Stoic? Is the Stoic an ascetic? Containing both practical wisdom and philosophical reflection, this book - the second in the Stoicism Today series - is for anyone interested in practising the Stoic life in the modern world.

The Stoicism Today project is comprised of a team of psychotherapists and academics working together to create modern-day resources for practising Stoicism, the classical philosophy as a way of life first practised over 2,300 years ago in Greece and Rome. The project had led to four international Stoic Weeks (November 2012-2015), the last of which was followed by over 3,000 people worldwide.
