    About this audiobook

    What is EUDAIMONIA (εὐδαιμονία)?

    Eu = "good"

    daimōn = "demon/spirit"

    The more accurate translation is the blossoming of your good demon or human flourishing.

    But how to achieve that?

    How can we learn how to live? Is it about wisdom? Or ethics? What should our priorities be, and how can we carry out these efforts?

    Stoicism is a practical philosophy whose edicts seek to teach us how to live its principles every day. So how can we uncover the principles and practices that can help us live more wisely?

    This book intends to enable a beginner to learn about the history of the Stoic philosophy as well as the major historical figures whose writings have shaped Stoic thought. It also covers the major principles of Stoicism and ends with specific and practical advice on “learning how to live.” It’s a guidebook for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of Stoicism as well as those looking to bring practical wisdom into their day to day life.

    You will be helped with the following:

    . Introduction

    . Origins of stoicsm

    . Eudaimonia

    . Cardinal virtues

    . Dichotomy of control

    . Acquiescence

    . Stoicsm and love

    . Prepare for the day

    . And much more!

    “As long as you live, keep learning how to live”

    Seneca, “Letters from a Stoic.”
