Looking At Life Afresh

The Everyday Stoic: Simple Rules For A Good Life, by William Mulligan

Popular on Instagram as ‘The Everyday Stoic’, the page deconstructs, modernizes, and makes the ancient wisdom of Stoicism practical.

The philosophy of Stoicism encourages the development of self-control to overcome destructive emotions. According to the principles of Stoicism, getting clear and unbiased in one’s thinking allows one to understand universal reason.

Deconstructing the core of Stoicism, namely, virtues such as wisdom, courage, justice, and moderation, helps make a person much more resilient in regular modern life, bringing clarity and strength.

Tracing the history and origin of this philosophy, the book serves to refine one’s thinking, showing how the ancient Roman philosophers Marcus Aurelius and Seneca remain relevant and helpful in day-to-day problem-solving.

As it says in the book: “We all deserve to flourish. It’s only fair if we all get a chance to learn how to live better, for ourselves and for the people we love.” This book is a lens to look at your life afresh.
