My younger daughter has gotten really into philosophy, especially stoicism, so I was thrilled to be able to review The Stoicism Book of Quotes.
She loved it and started flipping through it right away. With over 200 quotes, it's a great resource for people who are interested in nuggets of wisdom from Greek and Roman Stoic philosophers. Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Diogenes, Epictetus, Plato, and more are all featured in this book, and the quotes help the reader realize what philosophical stoicism is (it's not just having a stiff upper lip in trying situations). It's about strength, resilience, and wisdom, and learning these quotes - or just focusing on them for a day - can help foster that sense of strength and resilience.
For many, Stoicism is a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom. Living a more stoic life will give you the opportunity to live a mentally healthier, more balanced, and overall happier life.
