Stoic in Love
Autor Annie Lawson Ilustrat de Oslo Davisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2024
Ancient wisdom to help you navigate love's life cycles - from dating to contentment, boredom, breakup and beyond. An essential, sharply observed guide to navigating love in the modern world drawing on the ancient wisdom of Seneca and other Stoics.
Stoic in Love uses the ancient wisdom of Stoic philosophy to help find love, build relationships and determine whether to stay or go when things become predictable or go pear-shaped. How can a philosophy not normally associated with matters of the heart help us make our relationships more fulfilling, fire up partnerships that are treading water, get the best from dating online and in real life, and gracefully exit when things turn sour? Stoicism provides a framework for focusing on what matters, providing space before you react and making a decision when confronted with difficulty. Whether it's dating a person wearing horns and a kaftan, navigating a relationship where blobs of toothpaste are left smeared in the bathroom sink or being dumped via text with just one word – 'enough'. This book encompasses anecdotes from the dating, relationship and separation frontlines. From practical wisdom on how to navigate the world of dating, to insights to making relationships better and more enduring, to strategies for breaking up well. Stoicism reminds us that the world is all about change and to focus on things we can control such as our thoughts, behaviours and actions. And to not worry so much about things we cannot control.

Notă biografică
Annie Lawson is a former journalist who has had a diverse love life, from kiss chasey in the school yard in primary school, to a first pash as a teenager with braces to several boyfriends including one who alphabetised cereal packets, and finally to marriage, which eventually ended. This all taught her that the key to a good relationship is not only lots of storage, a nice resort and someone who is funny, but finding a partner to do nothing with. She now works in the world of corporate communications and is a devoted student of the Stoics, taking every opportunity to apply their wisdom to life's hard things – from the workplace to matters of the heart.
