    About this ebook

    Life can be challenging at times and the Stoic philosophy can come to your rescue. Stoicism is not only an ancient Greek philosophy but it's a way of living that holds true even in the modern world. Happiness is not determined by external events and people, but it's dependent on how we perceive the world. The goal should be to cultivate a self-reliant mindset and focus on the factors that we have control over and let go of the rest. 

    In this book, you will learn:

    -What is Stoicism?
    -How Society Shapes The Way We Think And Behave
    -How to Control Your Emotions
    -Why It's Important to Laugh At Yourself
    -How to Detach Yourself From Unnecessary Situations, Relationships, and Feelings

      This little book was such an incredible introduction to stoicism. Being new to this philosophy, most books are way over my head, but this one gets you into the stoic thinking in a way we all can understand.

    The Stoic Art of Not Giving a F*ck - Robin Spencer

    Introduction

    WE SUFFER MORE IN IMAGINATION, than in reality. – Seneca

    LIFE CAN BE DIFFICULT, right? We go through so many difficult times, happy times, mediocre times, and it can be a little overwhelming on occasion. On top of this, we have work, relationships, money, you name it, and we have it.

    If you allow life to drag you down, it will grab you by the ankles and pull you further into the abyss. That’s the negative. The positive? If you can learn how to literally not give a flying f*ck, and simply teach yourself how to focus on the things that really matter, you will notice that life not only gets better, but it begins to improve beyond measure, much faster than you might realise. Gone is the stress, gone are the difficult emotions you battle with on a daily basis, and you can wave goodbye to the uncertainty that may plague you.

    What is Stoicism?

    STOICISM IS A PHILOSOPHY, a way of life, a way of thinking, and a total mindset. The Ancient Greeks first founded Stoicism, as far back as the 3rd century, and its teachings have existed into the modern day. It’s no wonder when you start to analyse it, because it is a fantastically positive and helpful way to live your life. The basic line is that happiness is really down to you, it is down to the way you think, and it not about outside events, or your own words – Stoicism and happiness work hand in hand because if you can truly grasp its basics, you will notice
