A practical introduction to Stoic ideas and their classical sources

Stoicism 101 organizes a broad introduction to Stoic philosophy around its major thinkers—Epictetus, Seneca the Younger, and Marcus Aurelius—and foundational concepts such as virtue, mindfulness, and the dichotomy of control. Alongside historical grounding, it presents Stoic approaches to desires, emotions, criticism, adversity, self-acceptance, and character. Practical exercises extend the discussion beyond definitions, connecting the tradition’s principles with everyday questions about conduct and happiness. The book is structured as an accessible primer, making room for both the philosophy’s central ideas and the practices associated with them.
