The Pocket Stoic offers readers over 100 stoic thoughts to meditate on. Small enough to fit in a pocket, this book challenges its readers to think and live like a stoic. Contained within this book are 122 stoic thoughts to reflect on and implement for the next 122 days--one lesson for each day. This book's purpose is to allow the reader the opportunity to think like the Stoics, who are credited for having significant control over their emotions and the ability to find peace in any situation. I say "opportunity" because this book only provides words; it is up to the reader to put them into action. Stoicism has helped various people, from slaves to emperors, young to old, and ancient to modern, take control of their lives. Do yourself a favor and see if it can help you. Read this book however you like: read it all in one day or take it page by page, day by day. However, each day for the next 122 days, pick one thought or lesson and keep it at the front of your mind for the entirety of that day. Put it into practice and test its validity. At the end of your day, thoroughly reflect on the findings.
