Think like a Stoic Aviral Kumar Gupta

I thought that I will kill myself with starvation. I didn't eat anything for 2 weeks and all my ribs were completely visible to me when I took out my shirt. I was depressed and thought that I could not do anything in my life.

Then I came across this beautiful philosophy of Stoicism which helped me cope with anxiety and heal myself from depression. The Dichotomy of control mentioned in this book helped me let go of things, and Amor-Fati helped me love my fate. It was this philosophy that got me freedom from my thoughts and gave me an insight that how this world works.

I have summarized the ancient Stoic techniques and tools which would help you live a better and peaceful life. Our modern world is now completely dependent on chemicals. So many people out there consume drugs and alcohol for pleasure when this ancient Roman-Greek philosophy could get us natural pleasure which comes when we get in harmony with nature. This book contains Stoic wisdom which could help you deal with everyday problems and give you inner peace amid chaos. Stoicism has helped me overcome my mental illness, and it can help you too.
