"This book would have been useful before we got married." - Anthony Congedo, Annie's ex-husband. On date #17 from your last relationship that ended in a fiasco, you realize within fractions of a second that you made a big mistake when you just met Doug in a bar. You are about to text your friend Lizzy to complain about how your date says "ahhh" after every sip of beer, looks like Donald Trump, and definitely smelled your hair. Ten seconds later, you realize you accidentally sent this message to Doug. You sit frozen in the bathroom, wondering if there is a back exit or if you should fake your death. The philosophy of the Stoics can help us all navigate the cycles of love, whether it’s dating someone who wears antlers and chaps or a relationship where toothpaste stains remain in the sink, or saying goodbye via text with just one word - "enough"! Through 45 rules, from dating advice like "Do your research" to relationship tips like "Don’t tell your partner to calm down" and farewell wisdom like "Resist the urge to put your foot in your mouth," Annie Lawson applies ancient wisdom to the modern world of love. The romantic pursuit is often difficult, but fortunately, not always, and "Stoic in Love" helps us realize that we could all use a little help to find, stay with, or move on.
