Be Stoic, Be Happy: A Simple Guide to Living a Happier Life - Paperback

by Adam Tremellen (Author)

Life can be hard, unjust and unfair but you can still be happy!

Through a simple explanation of Stoic thinking, this book will teach you that you are personally responsible for your own happiness. Happiness can be created from how you decide to view things in the world around you, and just as importantly, your own actions.

Stoicism provides a way of living a better life through adjusting your perception, controlling your emotions, and considering your actions. It is a guide to help you improve your well-being, become more resilient in life and to reduce anxiety, anger, and stress.

Stoicism doesn't concern itself with overcomplicated theories about the world. It is a practical philosophy that provides a set of principles to live by, including being kind, having discipline, only focusing on what you can control, only acting on what can be acted upon, and living life with appreciation and gratitude.

The ideas and lessons on Stoicism in this book will help provide you a new perspective in difficult times and an actionable path to a life of happiness.

The author, Adam, had faced several personal and family challenges through his youth and formative years. Through hard work, a good sense of humour, and a Stoic viewpoint, he found the right path and went on to travel and work around the world; having amazing experiences, and making great friends along the way. He is now happily married, with two great boys, and living in beautiful Sydney. This is Adams' first book; after concluding how Stoic ways of thinking really can underpin living a happier life.

Be Stoic, Be Happy is a book he wishes someone else had written for him when he was a young man, and is dedicated to his two sons.

Be Stoic, Be Happy has been written as a simple guide for anyone looking to be happier. It is suitable for teenagers and young adults, trying to find their way in the world, as well as more mature readers still on their learning journey.
