Descriere

Description Have you been feeling as though something is missing in your life? Do you often feel like your emotions get the best of you and that you do and say things that you don't really mean? Do you run into trouble within relationships with people at home, at work, in a business or whatever because you feel like you need to control the situation-but the situation tends to do whatever it wants instead? This is the way many of us live our modern lives. We feel unhappy and alone-and oftentimes, we let our emotions determine what is going to happen next. However, this is a miserable way to live life. There will always be moments in our lives that we wish we could control but can't, which in turn get us upset and letting negative emotions take over can lead us to reactions that don't fit with the situation. Stoicism is an ancient Western philosophy whose simple, time-tested teachings of virtue, confidence and self-control have inspired generations of scholars and spiritual practitioners from Marcus Aurelius to Nelson Mandela. One of its main tenets is that we don't always have control over what happens to us, yet we do have control over how we react. Instead of letting something else be in control, we learn how to make ourselves the ones leading our lives. In Stoicism: Leadership, Discipline, Productivity and Meditations of the Roman Empire's Philosophy, Jimmie Powell, a professional psychologist and mentor for over 30 years, will guide you through the process with proven strategies and life-changing tactics. By the end of these pages you will learn how to overcome self-created obstacles that are preventing you from achieving the success you desire in all aspects of life, as well as harness your willpower to fill your lives with meaning, even in the bleakest of situations by applying the principles this book lays out in plain English.
