Stoic Guidance provides an essential introduction to the subject of Stoic Philosophy, which originated in the 3rd century BC and flourished in the antique civilizations of Greece and Rome. Stoicism was studied for over five centuries, providing a foundation for moral living based on the four virtues: wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice. By practicing the virtues in daily life, the Stoics' aim was 'eudaimonia', the happiness of a life lived well in accordance with nature. The study, teaching, and practice of Stoicism produced (and attracted) some of the greatest thinkers in history, who's works and wisdom are just as relevant today as they were two millennia ago. With 'Stoic Guidance' this timeless wisdom is presented in compilation, providing biographical summary of each philosopher, together with their most notable quotes. No beginner in the study and practice of Stoicism (nor any individual with curious interest in antique wisdom) should be without this valuable reference.
