«Wonderful» - Chris Bosh, two-time NBA Champion

For millennia, Stoicism was the ancient philosophy that attracted those seeking greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And it's no coincidence: its love for self-control, virtue, and indifference to things we can't control has much to offer to those struggling with today's chaotic world. But who were the Stoics?

In this book, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it - from Cicero to ZENO, Cato to Seneca, Diogenes to Marcus Aurelius. Through short biographies of all the famous and lesser-known Stoics, this book will show what it means to live like a Stoic and reveal the lessons that can be drawn from their struggles and successes. The result is a treasure of knowledge for anyone seeking to live a good life.
