The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Mark Manson
In this book, Mark Manson argues against the typical self-help advice of constant positivity, instead suggesting that life's struggles give it meaning. He emphasizes the need to focus on what truly matters and to accept and confront painful truths. The book is divided into nine chapters and uses blunt honesty and profanity to illustrate its ideas, encouraging readers to find meaning through values they can control and to replace uncontrollable values with more meaningful ones.
Meditations
Marcus Aurelius
Meditations is a series of private writings composed by Marcus Aurelius, one of Rome's greatest emperors, as he struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Written between 170 and 180 CE while on military campaigns, this work combines Stoic philosophy with personal observations on leadership, duty, mortality, and human nature. Through twelve books of intimate thoughts never intended for publication, Marcus Aurelius explores themes of self-improvement, resilience in the face of adversity, and living virtuously while accepting what cannot be changed.
Epictetus' Discourses
null
Epictetus
Epictetus' Discourses, compiled by his student Arrian, represent a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy. These teachings emphasize inner freedom, focusing on what we can control—our thoughts and actions—rather than external events. Epictetus's practical approach to living a virtuous life resonates with readers seeking guidance on managing emotions and navigating life's challenges. His emphasis on self-awareness and acceptance of what is beyond our control offers a path to inner peace and resilience. The Discourses remain a valuable resource for understanding and applying Stoic principles in daily life.
We never met Marcus Aurelius or listened to Epictetus lecture. And yet, do they not feel real to us? Do they not still inspire and speak to us?
