Many of us have trouble naming our big goal in life.
Sure, we want a loving partner, a good job and a nice house, but really these are just some of the things we want.
What we really want, is a philosophy of life, a strategy for attaining our big goal…
That strategy is Stoicism.
Founded in Anthems by Zeno of Citium, Stoicism was one of the most popular and successful schools of philosophy, particularly in ancient Rome.
But Stoicism is more than analysis of arguments; it’s a way of life. In fact, its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable today, and entrepreneurs including Ryan Holiday, Phil Libin and Tim Ferriss, are strong proponents of the philosophy (Ferriss even calls Stoicism a “personal operating system” for anyone who wants high performance under high stress).
So, with that said, let’s discuss seven, practical techniques for attaining tranquility and living a better life.
