Find inner peace? Properly grieve? Tame our insecurities, such as the fear of missing out? Determine what truly matters? Centuries ago, the Stoics pondered many of these same questions. And so, at an important inflection point in her own life, Brigid decided to let these ancient philosophers be her guide. Brigid is rash where the Stoics are logical; she runs on chaos, while the Stoics relinquish control of things beyond their reach. Over the course of a year, she dedicated herself to following the wisdom of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. She hoped to discover how best to live, how she could use the wisdom of these ancient thinkers to navigate life in the modern world. Here, Brigid shares what she learned, showing us how we, too, can draw on the Stoics to regain a sense of agency and tranquility and find meaning in our lives. From learning to relinquish control to cultivating daily awareness of our mortality to building community, Brigid's insights are very funny and very wise. 600 00 $a Marcus Aurelius, $c Emperor of Rome, $d 121-180. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80051702 600 10 $a Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, $d approximately 4 B.C.-65 A.D. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79004229 600 00 $a Epictetus. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50082929 650 0 $a Stoics. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85128242 650 0 $a Worry. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85148562 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85119713 650 0 $a Philosophy, Ancient. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100861 650 0 $a Conduct of life. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85030802 655 7 $a Self-help publications. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240523010803.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045104.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024638.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240104032620.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20231208010936.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231202010452.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025015553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45EA12CC72FC11EE80D9CCAA24ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LVYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
