My guest today is Jonas Salzgeber, author of the Little book of Stoicism. On his quest to be the best he can be, Jonas stumbled upon Stoicism – and got hooked. He digested everything he could on the subject and ended up writing a brilliant book full of practical advice on the most important step: to put the wisdom from book page to action.

At the core of this actionable philosophy lies the goal of leading a happy life, especially in the face of adversity and In today’s podcast, we discuss Stoic strategies to help you become ready to deal effectively with whatever life throws at you.
