An engaging guide to how Stoicism—the ancient philosophy of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius—can help us flourish today.

“One of the best explorations of Stoic philosophy that I’ve read.” —Timothy Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek


Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive.

In this thoroughly updated edition of the modern classic How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired Emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to live well. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that focuses our attention on what is possible and gives us perspective on what is unimportant. By understanding Stoicism, we can learn to answer crucial questions: Should we get married or divorced? How should we handle our money when our markets are in turmoil? How can we survive great personal tragedy?

Whoever we are, Stoicism has something for us—and How to Be a Stoic is the essential guide.

Reseñas de la crítica

“Pigliucci’s book does an excellent job writing about each stage of wrestling with a philosophical system, starting with what I’d call the ‘life hack’ stage and progressing through the interrogation stage, the reconciling-of-internal-contradictions (especially between the earlier Greek Stoics and the later Roman Stoics) stage and, finally, into the actual adoption of Stoic exercises, of which he offers a large menu.”—New York Times
How to Be a Stoic is highly readable, written in clear and accessible prose, and illuminated with anecdotes of both a personal and an historical nature.”—Washington Independent Review of Books
How to Be a Stoic is a very readable book: there’s a lightness to the prose, an enthusiasm that glows from the pages, and a subtle humor sprinkled throughout the stories.”—Philosopher’s Magazine
“One of the best explorations of Stoic philosophy that I've read.”—Tim Ferriss, New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek
“In this thought-provoking book, Massimo Pigliucci shares his journey of discovering the power of Stoic practices in a philosophical dialogue with one of Stoicism's greatest teachers.”—Ryan Holiday, New York Times bestselling author of The Daily Stoic
How to Be a Stoic proves many things: that the ancient school of Stoicism is superbly relevant to our times; that profound wisdom can be delivered in lively, breezy prose; and that Massimo Pigliucci is uniquely gifted at translating philosophy into terms helpful for alleviating and elevating the lives of many.”—Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex
“As its title suggests, How to Be a Stoic is a how-to book, but one of a very high order.... Do you want to avoid wasting the one life you have to live? Read this book!”—William B. Irvine, author of The Stoic Challenge
“If you want to want to learn the ways of Stoicism, and you're living in the 21st century, this should be one of the first books you read. Massimo has written a fine primer for the aspiring Marcus Aurelius.”—Donald J. Robertson, author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor
“This is a lucid, engaging, and persuasive book about what it means to pursue Stoic ideals…. It will be inviting to Stoics and non-Stoics alike who are willing to reason together seriously about how (and why) to be a modern Stoic.”—Lawrence C. Becker, author of A New Stoicism
