The introduction presents philosophy as a daily practice, guiding you through life changes and the mind’s responses on the path to agnosticism in the modern world.
Practice step eleven by fostering sober modesty and attention in daily choices, and practice step twelve by embracing luxury minimalism in possessions and environment.
Embrace life as temporary and pursue a long lasting, magnificent life through daily, deliberate choices, then commit to concrete steps and daily routines that become your model.
Advance self-mastery by practicing selective communication, accepting what you cannot change, and shaping situations you can influence. Create action plans, test beliefs, and pursue calm, consistent progress toward your goals.
Observe negative feelings for twenty minutes, write them down, and remediate their causes rather than ruminating; avoid complaining and practice handling social rules and expectations with composure.
Life changes and dynamics in a post-industrial society are so great that people sometimes can feel lost in it. This in a way reminds us the Late Roman Empire. Changes have become the only constant thing in the current society. How can a modern person stay calm and balanced in such society? I think that one of the way is to become a neostoic. A neostoic is not a classic stoic; he/she is adapted to live in the modern world. Since philosophy must be a practice, I suggest you a 100-step program “How to Become a Neostoic” that, in my opinion, will really improve your life quality.
