The Stoic’s Guide to Emotional Mastery: Learn How to Stay Calm and Disciplined by Winston Meskill, is one of the many books about Stoicism to come out in the last few years. I think we live in a quintessentially Stoic age: we are part of a dying empire, living many degrees away from feeling any power or control of our own lives. Stoicism worked in the Greco-Roman age as it gave its adherents control over what they could control, and the tools to let go of what was not under their control. We need these skills as well – and this book is an excellent guide.
