Samenvatting:

The Stoics were the original cognitive behavioral therapists. Two thousand years before the term existed.What they figured out: most suffering isn't from what happens, it's from what we tell ourselves about what happens.Stoicism - Introduction to The Stoic Way of Life (Stoicism Series) (Volume 1) is a working introduction. Single-volume guide written to be read straight through. Concrete, applicable, and built for the reader who wants results faster than theory.You learn:· The four cardinal virtues. Wisdom, courage, justice, temperance. Old words. Still operational.· The morning prep - what Marcus did before stepping into a difficult day.· The evening review - three questions that compound across years.· How to read setbacks without flinching. The reframe that changes everything.· Anger, fear, and grief through the Stoic lens. Specific, not abstract.· Reading list - the original texts, in the order to approach them.Pick up a Stoic book and you don't put it down the same person. This one's the on-ramp.
