RE: A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy - Book Club #20

I would also like to point out that "practicing Stoicism" can happen on many different levels... Don't be intimidated by the idea of practicing a philosophy: just take 1 step at a time and know the basics. Knowing more about stoicism won't hurt you and won't affect your life (unless you want to). Some people may want to be stoic for 10 minutes a day, when something bad happens and they have to change that switch. Some people may want to be stoic when it comes to their diet and health. Some may want to learn about this out of curiosity, but never put these tools into practice.

It sounds like a very useful practice, since you take it to various places in your life, I could mainly focus on the management of emotions, which are what I feel can change many things in your life, including your state of health, I must admit that I know nothing about the subject, I feel very ignorant and this gives me the incentive to learn more about it and if it is possible to put it into practice for my own good.

What's your big goal in life? "Of the things in life you could pursue, what do you think is most valuable?"

I believe that we are all already programmed for a specific mission and also give us the key tools to achieve them, in such a sense I pursue my spiritual growth, because I tend to be a lonely person and require that I meet with a better person, with much to give and teach, which is where I think I have my strength, great post thank you for sharing, I appreciate forgiving the mistakes in English, I only speak Spanish, use translator
