    The benefits of truly embracing a Stoic lifestyle are huge.  And the good news is that this book is going to help you do that. If you can follow each nugget of timeless wisdom, truly digest it, and do some soul searching, changing the destructive patterns in your life that you may be following without realizing it, then your life will become a truly Stoic existence.

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

      Introduction

      You have the power of your own mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

      ― Marcus Aurelius

      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.

      Put simply, learning not to give a f*ck is the way forward.

      Of course, this doesn’t mean that you become uncaring, cold, or bitter, quite the opposite. Learning to live a life of not giving a f*ck is basically learning to live a life of Stoicism.

      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 your life change beyond measure.

      Stoicism is underpinned by the three main disciplines, making up the concept as a whole. These are:

      Perception

      Action

      Will

      We will talk about these in much more detail as we begin to explore Stoicism and how it can change your daily life, but for now, it is useful to be aware of them.

      The main standpoints of Stoicism are:

      Your overall happiness in life depends on you.

      We can’t control things outside of ourselves, e.g. external things, and trying to do so is futile, breeding unhappiness and discontent.

      We can only rely on one thing in life – ourselves.

      The word can be a very unpredictable destination, but learning to roll with the punches is a way to survive.

      You will learn and become a stronger person, someone in control of their emotions, without being a slave to negative feelings and thoughts.

      Life is short, and we should live in the moment.

      As you can see, the benefits of truly embracing
