Publisher's Synopsis
Do traditional "self-help" methods always seem to fail you? Do Stoic teachings seem "dry" "uninspiring" or simply "outdated?
Here's the thing...
Ancient Stoic advice is still the very best playbook for adversity. Unlike many religious and new age thinking methods, Stoicism provides a clear road map on exactly "How" to think, not simply "What" to think. Thus giving its proponents a way to better deal with the inevitable hardships they'll face. However, this is only half of the battle.
The truth is... It's a reactive strategy. If you genuinely want to make the most progress, then you need to give yourself an upgrade to these timeless teachings. To adopt a more progressive approach to problems, bringing them into the 21st century. This makes dealing with issues so much easier when they do arise & drastically increases a person's chances of success!
In this insightful 3rd edition to the Stoicism series, Daugherty gives readers a firsthand look into:
- The most important ideal to strive for in life (Hint: it's NOT your passion)
- Why persistent and massive action is the only way out for most people
- #1 human tendency which kills any type of progress
- The magic of re-contextualization - how to re-frame obstacles & set-backs
- Why conventional goal-setting FAILS the average person, & how to do it correctly
- The power of delaying gratification & fostering an "attitude of gratitude"
- How to cultivate the art of "dying before you die" (game changer!)
... and much more.
Stoicism 3 is a mixture of philosophical teachings combined with systematic strategies to put this advice into action. The practical life-improving lessons will help you in all areas from career, finance, relationships or just being a more productive person. Even if you've tried & failed with traditional self-help techniques in the past!
