Description
A Stoic demonstrates exercises in self-governance and peace of mind through mental discipline.
A collection of meditations in the Stoic tradition. Meditations on Self-Discipline and Failure provides access to the ruminations, practices, and applications of ancient Stoic philosophy as deployed by a contemporary professional philosopher with twenty five years of experience teaching, researching, and publishing articles in academic journals.
The time is now. Help is not on the way. Here is the world as it is. Here you are. What do you intend to do about it?
Each meditation is presented in the second person, encouraging the reader to examine their struggles and failures in the pursuit of self-improvement and enlightenment.
Advance Praise
Meditations on Self-Discipline and Failure will make you pause and reflect… Written in the style of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, and with a strong flavor of Epictetus, it confronts the reader with what happens if one looks at reality in the eyes and considers regulating his life accordingly. Massimo Pigliucci PhD, author of How to Be Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life
This short book is packed full of useful reminders, reflections, and exhortations, drawing upon and digesting resources stemming from classic Stoic philosophy and other sources of wisdom. Gregory Sadler, editor of Stoicism Today and author of Reason Fulfilled By Revelation
