About this listen
Do you want to learn how to navigate this chaotic life without wasting it?
Are you looking for effective ways to stop worrying about the past or future and focus more on the present?
Do you want to discover practical ways of how stoicism can improve your life?
If your answer was yes, then keep reading because you’re about to find what you’re looking for.
The world we live in nowadays is so frantic and full of distractions. You’re not the only one feeling anxious and unable to focus on your personal life due to this fast-paced society.
The good news is the right change of perspective can offer you clarity and help you achieve the mental balance you need to live an efficient and successful life.
Stoicism, as a philosophy, can help you achieve just that.
In 2019, a study published in The Behavior Therapist, Vol. 42, No. 2, conducted by D. Robertson and T. Codd explored stoicism’s similarities to modern psychotherapy.
The findings show that the founders of modern psychotherapy, A. Ellis and A. Beck, acknowledged the main principles of REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) were originally discovered and stated by the stoics.
Stoicism, as well as modern psychotherapy, aims to help you learn effective strategies you can apply to your unique life situations to deal with difficult situations such as loss, depression, anxiety, and helplessness.
Thankfully, this book holds essential knowledge to help you cope with difficult experiences, build emotional resilience, and achieve a happy meaningful life.
In this guide, you will discover:
- How to apply stoic principles and retain composure during difficult times, even if it’s losing people you love
- Effective tips on dealing with insults, grief, old age, and other distracting temptations that hold you down from becoming the better person you want to be
- Practical exercises to help you focus all your efforts on the things you can control without having a hard time letting go of your past
- Why it's essential to develop an eye for the bigger picture in life and how you can stop feeling lost even if you see no light at the end of the tunnel
- A fast and effective strategy to help you become a better human being that will instantly improve all your current relationships
- Simple mindfulness techniques you can implement to fully enjoy your present without becoming anxious about your past or future
- How a few simple healthy practices and devotions can restore your mental balance (This is vital if you're paralyzed by worry, right now.)
- One essential truth you don't want to believe, but should - this could give you the tools and clarity you need to let yourself be happy
- And so much more!
Your level of happiness in life depends mostly on your mental perception of your experiences. This is why learning healthy tips on how to cut through distractions and empty desires can help you not only become a better human being, but also a happier one.
So, if you want to learn how to find meaning in the midst of everyday life, click the “buy now” button now!

Story
How can I rewire my brain from anxiety? How can I rewire my brain to be positive? Scientists once thought that the brain was locked in place after puberty. But new technology shows that our brain continues to rewire itself and never stops changing as we age. We're gradually understanding that the adult brain is capable of physical change and rewiring in response to stimuli. But if you conceive of the brain as a colossally complex series of wires and computer connections, we're still basically babies with a Fisher-Paykel chisel, banging at the circuit board.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is not something that you try on yourself. It’s just not going to happen. You have to work with a trained therapist or counselor. While you do the heavy lifting as far as your personal beliefs and your responses to the outside world go, you need expert guidance. You need somebody who knows what they’re doing and who knows how to instruct you. They must have been around the block a few times so they know what to anticipate. When properly implemented, cognitive behavioral therapy enables you to reclaim your personal power over your life.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

THIS is the book I needed.
THIS is the book I needed. Like the author, I found that cognitive behavior therapy tools help control the mind, but studying the Stoics helps you learn how to LIVE.

The narration is really good as well.
Once you understand a concept and can apply it in your daily life, you may not practice it perfectly, but you can really see the benefit in striving to do so! The narration is really good as well. I am grateful when I discover a book like this.
