Stoic Wisdom

In 'Stoic Wisdom', Nancy Sherman presents a compelling, modern Stoicism that teaches how to find calm in times of stress and uncertainty.

Drawing on the wisdom of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and others, Sherman shows how Stoic methods of examining beliefs and perceptions can help correct distortions in what we believe, see, and feel.

The book emphasizes the importance of cooperative efforts and deep relationships in building resilience and goodness.

It addresses 21st-century concerns such as stress, burnout, and social justice through nine lessons that combine ancient quotes and daily exercises with contemporary ethics and psychology.
