Stoicism card set

We still pay homage to one of the most relevant philosophies ever devised when we call someone "stoic" for the way they handle the challenges in their lives with resilience and calm. Originating in Greece around 300 BCE, Stoicism was for many centuries the most popular philosophy in the Western world, giving people practical advice on how to flourish in uncertain times and overcome their anxieties. This box of cards gathers the best insights and sayings of the great Stoic thinkers and combines them with commentaries that reveal their applicability to our own lives. It is both an elegant summary of an ancient philosophy and a path to self-knowledge, serenity and strength of spirit.
