Life can be hard, unjust and unfair but you can still be happy! Through a simple explanation of stoic thinking, Be Stoic, Be Happy will teach you that you are personally responsible for your own happiness. It is a simple guide to help you improve your well-being, become more resilient in life and to reduce anxiety, anger, and stress. Stoicism is a practical philosophy, embodied most famously by the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, 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. Be Stoic, Be Happy has been written primarily for teenagers and young adults trying to find their way in the world, although it is just as valuable to more mature readers looking for a gentle introduction to Stoicism or simply seeking ideas to living a happier life. 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. Living through the Port Arthur Massacre, as a young 22 year old, that saw 35 people killed and 23 wounded in a mass shooting event in a remote tourist town in the Australian state of Tasmania was a life defining moment for the Author. Feeling lucky to have survived the day and realizing how fleeting life could be, Adam was inspired to live life to the fullest. Through hard work, a good sense of humour, and a desire to simply live a life worth living, Adam went on to travel and work around the world; having amazing experiences and making great friends along the way. This is Adams' debut work, inspired by his experience as a father and his realization of how embracing Stoic principles can profoundly enhance one's path to a more fulfilling life. Be Stoic Be Happy is a book he wishes someone else had written for him when he was a young man, and importantly is dedicated to his two sons.
