The Stoicism: The Art of Knowing How to Live.

By Douglas Stones

The Stoicism: The Art of Knowing How to Live."Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of a principle: some things are under our control, and some not.(Epictet)Whether you are only interested in stoicism as a philosophical movement or want to be stoic as defined in the dictionary, try anyway to work on your self-control and self-consciousness. Remember that you can control your own actions and judgments, but not most other things, and most of the time it's not worth worrying about. Being stoic does not mean that you have to be cold and distant, but that you should think before you say anything. Besides striving to be stoic in everyday life, you can also go deeper into the art of stoicism, meditating every day and thinking more deeply about philosophical ideas.

Not worth the money

This book does not have much content. There are 36 pages of large font, widely spaced text; twelve of the pages are half blank. There are grammatical errors and an inconsistency in the writing style which leads me to believe it is a cut-and-paste job using several different internet sources. Had I seem this book in a book store I would not have purchased it. I would not recommend this book for someone who is interested in learning about and developing a good understanding of Stoic philosophy.
