Timeless Wisdom For A Modern WorldBy Silas Clear
Length1h 54m
About this audiobook
Calm is a skill. Begin practicing it with the Stoics.
An unanswered message. A conversation you keep replaying. The feeling that you should be doing more, even when you’re exhausted.
Two thousand years ago, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca explored how to meet uncertainty without surrendering your peace of mind. In 20 Stoic Lessons for Modern Anxiety, Silas Clear brings their ideas into the pressures of modern life through clear explanations, thoughtful reflections, and practical exercises.
Discover how to:
Separate what you can influence from what lies beyond your control
Question anxious interpretations before they take over
Focus on your effort without becoming consumed by outcomes
Make room for rest without guilt
Practice the evening review, the view from above, and other Stoic approaches to perspectiveEach lesson connects one Stoic idea with a familiar struggle, from an overflowing inbox to the fear of losing someone you love. The tone is warm and conversational, with space to reflect and simple ways to begin.
Whether you’re discovering Stoicism or looking to put its wisdom into practice, these twenty lessons offer a grounded approach to meeting life with greater clarity and steadiness.
Start with one lesson. Give yourself room to practice.
