The Stoic Challenge

A Philosopher's Guide to Becoming Tougher, Calmer, and More Resilient

William B. Irvine

"The Stoic Challenge" is a practical guide that combines ancient Stoic principles with modern psychology to help us overcome everyday obstacles. Author William B. Irvine uses lessons from thinkers like Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to create a simple strategy for dealing with life's unpleasant surprises, from minor setbacks to major ones experienced by people like Stephen Hawking and Bethany Hamilton. By adopting this updated Stoic mindset, we can become calmer, tougher, and more resilient. A valuable resource for anyone looking to better cope with the stresses of modern living.

Life is full of frustration. (That might be its default setting.) This book helped me contend with that reality. Now, I always try to reframe frustration not as a problem, but as a test of my resilience and creativity. Just like the Stoics. #DanielPink #TheStoicChallenge      source
