The art of being stoic in turbulent times

All of us, sooner or later, are faced with the same big questions: What does it mean to be good? How do you find inner peace? How do you deal with grief? What is really important in life? The good news is that the wisest minds in human history have asked the same questions (including how one can combat FOMO, the syndrome of our time). And they give answers. The Stoics teach us primarily that the tools we need to apply their precious wisdom to ourselves already exist.
Let us travel, then, to their time, which after all is not so different from ours; an age steeped in chaos, with wars, epidemics, plagues, betrayals, corruption, stress, abuses and – yes, even since then – fear of climate catastrophe.
Let us listen to and approach as experientially as we can the teachings of three leading Stoics, Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, so that we may acquire an essential and profound sense of mental peace and self-control.

“The Art of Being Stoic in Unsettled Times is both an introduction to and an interrogation of Stoicism. With acute thoughtfulness and gentle lightness, Delaney demonstrates how relevant and necessary this ancient philosophy remains.' Christos Tsiolkas
“Brigid has the incredible gift of taking seemingly complex and deeply esoteric concepts and explaining them to the reader in a way that is clear and generous, but above all, familiar. Reading her book is like going for a long walk with your amazing big sister while she passes you, almost imperceptibly, the juice of Stoic philosophy." Ben Lee
