The stoics lived a long time ago, but they had some startling insights into the human condition - insights which endure to this day. The philosophical tradition, founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in 301 BC, endured as an active movement for almost 500 years, and contributions from dazzling minds such as Cicero, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius helped create a body of thought with an extraordinary goal - to provide a rational, healthy way of living in harmony with the nature of the universe and in respect of our relationships with each other.

In many ways a precursor to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Stoicism provides an armamentarium of strategies and techniques for developing psychological resilience, while celebrating all in life which is beautiful and important. By learning what stoicism is, you can revolutionise your life and learn how to seize the day, live happily and be a better person.

This simple, empowering book shows how to use this ancient wisdom to make practical, positive changes to your life. Using thought-provoking case studies, highlighting key ideas and things to remember and providing tools for self-assessment, it demonstrates that Stoicism is a proven, profound pathway to happiness.

斯多葛派生活在很久以前，但他们对人类状况有一些惊人的洞察力--这些洞察力一直延续到今天。这一哲学传统由西提姆的芝诺于公元前301年在雅典创立，作为一个活跃的运动持续了近500年，西塞罗、塞内加和马库斯-奥勒留等人的贡献帮助创造了一个具有非凡目标的思想体系--提供一种理性、健康的生活方式，与宇宙的本质和谐相处，尊重我们彼此之间的关系。

在许多方面，斯多葛主义是认知行为疗法（CBT）的先驱，它为发展心理复原力提供了一套策略和技术，同时赞美生命中所有美好和重要的东西。通过学习什么是随机主义，你可以彻底改变你的生活，学会如何抓住每一天，快乐地生活，成为一个更好的人。

这本简单而有力量的书展示了如何利用这种古老的智慧对你的生活做出实际而积极的改变。本书使用发人深省的案例研究，强调了关键的想法和需要记住的事情，并提供了自我评估的工具，证明了斯多葛主义是一条被证实的、深刻的通往幸福的途径。
