Stoic Challenge
Some people bounce back in response to setbacks, others break. William B.Irvine combines key lessons from the ancient Stoics with modern psychological techniques to develop a simple strategy for dealing with life's unpleasant surprises. We often think that these responses are hardwired but this is not the case.
By using the updated Stoic strategy, life's setbacks can be transformed into opportunities to become calmer, tougher and more resilient.The Stoic Challenge is a practical guide to using centuries-old wisdom to help us cope better with the stresses of modern living. These include minor setbacks like being caught in a traffic jam or having a flight cancelled, as well as major setbacks, like those experienced by Stephen Hawking or Bethany Hamilton.
