The Stoic Man
Oliver James
When you were younger, you probably couldn't wait to become an adult so you could finally become a famous athlete, land a lucrative career, marry the girl of your dreams, and start amassing a fortune.
Fast forward a few decades, and you find yourself in a completely different place.
Your career might not be going too well, your love life could do with some excitement, and you feel like life has passed you by, leaving you feeling hopeless and bored.
A lack of self-confidence has replaced the once-passionate, driven young man who wanted to explore everything the world had to offer.
You might not believe it at first, but… these feelings and thoughts are completely normal.
Men worldwide, even the most successful ones, face similar challenges. It’s hard to accept your youthful goals might not come true or that the family life you dreamed about might not be in the cards for you.
But the difference between successful men and those that spend their days in bored apathy, lies in having a specific mindset and perspective.
And nothing will teach you to turn the tables and equip you with life-changing lessons like the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.
Unlike other schools of thought, Stoicism doesn't require you to take classes or pay for a mentor to understand its teachings fully.
You need only devote yourself to the philosophy, unlearn harmful and counterproductive practices, be patient with your development, and have a valuable guide who will accompany you every step of the way.
This guidebook is specifically tailored for men who have lost confidence but want to get it back and start making positive changes in their lives.
Let children worry about gossip and toys and “life’s not fair” - the Stoic Man knows what to do, and he gets the job done.
