The Stoic Challenge

The Stoic Challenge is a sequel to my Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy.  In that book, I described Stoicism in general terms; in this book, I focus my attention on how Stoicism can be used to deal with the setbacks we experience in daily living.  Some are small, others are catastrophic.  Unless we are prepared to deal with them, though, our lives are likely to be filled with unnecessary stress and anxiety.  This book weaves together ancient Stoic philosophy and modern psychology to provide an actionable strategy for dealing with life's setbacks.
