Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to act depending on what is within our control and separate things worth getting upset about from those that are not.

What is the ultimate force that holds a marriage together? Love? Sex? Children? Regular tropical vacations? The answer is both very simple and very complex: communication. Communication may sound like a very dry word. After all, it’s just the transfer of information from one person to another. However, communication is the foundation of everything that makes a marriage happy, including love, good sex, and good parenting. Good communication creates an environment of safety, love, and respect.

The Power of Stoicism
I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
I love the idea of stoicism, and I find myself naturally agreeing with much of what is said. It's hard for me when people around me don't see simple truths like what's laid out in the book, but once I get frustrated I remember that that's not something I can control. It's hard to hold to, for sure.
