From Stoic ethics to emotions, from Stoic mayors and mindfulness to practical philosophy, parenting, psychotherapy and prisons, from Star Trek and Socrates to Stoic lawyers, literature and living in general, this book brings together a wide-ranging collection of reflections on living the Stoic life today. You'll read advice on coping with adversity, reflections on happiness and the good life and powerful personal testimonies of putting Stoicism into practise. But you'll also read about the links between Stoicism and psychotherapy, Stoicism and mindfulness meditation and the unexpected places Stoicism can pop up in modern culture. This book will be of interest to both academics and non-academics alike and is about the varied ways in which the 2,300 year old philosophy as a way of life remains relevant to the concerns and needs of the present day.

The Stoicism Today project is comprised of a team of psychotherapists and academics working together to create modern-day resources for practising Stoicism, the classical philosophy as a way of life first practised over 2,300 years ago in Greece and Rome. The project had led to four international Stoic Weeks (November 2012-2015), the last of which was followed by over 3,000 people worldwide.

Patrick Ussher is a PhD student at the University of Exeter, working on Stoic philosophy as a way of life.
