Description

Bestselling author of The Way of Nagomi and The Little Book of Ikigai Ken Mogi returns with a thoughtful and actionable book to help you practice stoicism in your everyday life.

In a world overflowing with abundance and information, the clarity and calm of stoicism has never been more important. In this new book, bestselling author Ken Mogi explores the ancient Greek philosophy as well as its resonance with other cultures around the world, not least his own Japanese perspective.

With his expertise as a neuroscientist, Ken will teach you the cognitive foundations of the resilience that is so central to stoicism. Rooted in science, stoicism provides robust coping strategies for modern life and a way to balance self-discipline with pleasure and reward.

Looking to the future, Ken considers the importance of remaining stoic in the face of global challenges like climate emergencies and the unknown capabilities of artificial intelligence. Stoicism, he argues, can offer not just a path for personal growth and wisdom, but the key to the future of humanity.
