Stoicism is a school of philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the 3rd century BCE. It is a philosophy that stresses positive emotions over negative and helps in providing a framework for living well and achieving happiness. Embraced by emperors in Rome, Stoicism has been an influence on philosophers throughout the years, such as Thomas More and Descartes, and is currently undergoing a cultural resurgence. Divided thematically, Stoics Illustrated contains over 100 quotes from key philosophers, including Zeno of Citium, Cleanthes, Diogenes of Babylon, Cato the Younger, Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, and will give the reader many emotional and practical tools for living a better life.

Paul Scade is an Honorary Fellow in the Department of Archeology, Classics, and Egyptology at the University of Liverpool. After a first career as a historian of philosophy at leading universities in Europe and the United States, Paul now works as a writer and consultant helping business leaders formulate, analyse, and communicate ideas. His academic research focuses on the origins of Stoicism, Stoic metaphysics and psychology, and political and business leadership.
