Originating in Greece around 300 BC, Stoicism was for many centuries the most popular philosophy in the western world, teaching people practical advice on how they could overcome their anxieties and flourish in uncertain times. We still pay homage to its lasting influence when we call someone ‘stoic’ for the way they handle the challenges in their lives with resilience and calm. ‘Stoicism’ gathers together the best insights and sayings from the great Stoic thinkers, and marries them up with commentaries that bring out their applicability to our own lives.
