An Outline of Stoic Philosophy by Peter Meyers is a self-published, printed paperback booklet that provides an overview of Stoicism. ISBN 979-8-9870708-1-9. Stoicism is a practical philosophy of life that is based on an objective world view and that advocates a positive outlook and an active, engaged lifestyle. Adopting a Stoic outlook and lifestyle requires mental toughness and courage, but in return one gains incredible freedom and peace of mind. Stoicism enables you to feel confidence in yourself and encourages you to support those around you and the greater society in which you live. Achieving the benefits of Stoicism is completely within your control; it does not depend upon your specific circumstances or upon outside events. A Stoic mindset enables you to lead a fulfilling life whether you are rich or poor, whether your body is hearty or frail, whether you are male or female.
