A thought-provoking take on the common myths and misconceptions about one of the most popular philosophical movements, Stoicism

Stoicism is one of the world’s most popular – and misunderstood – traditions. We all know what it means to be ‘stoical’: to have a stiff upper lip, to hide or suppress one’s emotions, to be indifferent to the outside world. But is there a difference between being 'stoic' and being a 'Stoic'? Is it actually about feeling nothing? Are Stoics just naïve optimists? And is Stoicism really only for men?

Stoicism Is Not What You Think offers an invigorating corrective. Here philosopher John Sellars debunks all the major myths and misconceptions foisted on Stoicism by critics – and sometimes admirers too – and firmly puts them to rest. Stoicism, he shows, can be warm and inclusive. It can help everyone in times of trouble, no matter who they are. It can even be political.

With vivid examples and fresh interpretations of ancient Stoics, from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius, Sellars shows why Stoicism is not only perennially relevant, but essential for navigating the complexities of modern life.
