Seven Secrets of a Sedentary Stoic: Pursuing a Path to Post Paralysis Peace

By: Cassandra Brandt

"Sometimes even to live is an act of courage." Seneca "What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this." Epictetus "Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul." Marcus Aurelius "There's a place for heroism even on the sickbed." Seneca Tradeswoman Cassandra Brandt never found a practical application for philosophy until she broke her neck. Suddenly she had to learn how to adjust to a whole new way of navigating the world. Fortunately for her that is the supreme goal of philosophy. In turning to the ancient Greco-Roman school of Stoicism in her darkest hours and with her deepest inquiries into the true nature of a reality she didn't imagine herself equipped to face, the author had to come to terms with her own nature and find there a secret wellspring of inner strength. How can we live a good life? Change our perspective, enjoy the little things, endure suffering? Is there a way to prepare for death and stay calm even in the eye of a storm? Here are the secrets, hard won, battle tested by a warrior in a wheelchair, complete with fascinating historical context and points for reflection, journal activities and packed with Stoic quotes to weaponize the mind. The Sedentary Stoic is nothing less than a field manual for making your life a lesson worth living.
