Stoicism isn't just ancient philosophy - it's a toolkit for living well today.

Stoicism Today brings together engaging essays that show exactly how Stoic thinking can help with stress, anxiety, relationships, work, discipline, and emotional resilience in a fast-moving modern world.

If you've read Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus or Seneca - or modern Stoics like Massimo Pigliucci, Donald Robertson or Ryan Holiday - this book will feel like the natural next step: real Stoicism, lived in real lives.

In these pages, you will discover:

â¢ How Stoic principles improve resilience, calm and emotional balance

â¢ Real examples of philosophy applied to grief, work, conflict and decision-making

â¢ Reflections from people using Stoicism to build strength, meaning and purpose

â¢ Practical advice for thinking clearly, reducing reactivity and developing inner stability

â¢ A bridge between ancient wisdom and everyday challenges - written for real readers, not academics

Whether you're new to Stoicism or deepening your understanding, Stoicism Today offers a relatable, human guide to cultivating strength, clarity and a more grounded way of living.

Ancient wisdom. Modern life. Stoicism made practical.
