The Ultimate Manual about Stoicism


"The condition and characteristic of an uninstructed person is this: he never expects from himself profit (advantage) nor harm, but from externals. The condition and characteristic of a philosopher is this: he expects all advantage and all harm from himself." - Epictetus, Enchiridion


Know how to live without using your emotions, guided only by the mind. Learn how to see the mundane, how to approach situations that may or may not be in your direct control. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and most importantly, don't be afraid to change. This is what stoicism is all about.
