In this heartfelt and insightful work, the beloved Guardian columnist embarks on a year-long journey to explore how to lead a rich and meaningful life, drawing on the wisdom of the Stoics. Like many, Brigid Delaney seeks answers to timeless questions about goodness, inner peace, grief, and the fear of missing out. At a pivotal moment in her life, she turns to ancient philosophers for guidance, contrasting her chaotic nature with their logical approach. Throughout the year, she immerses herself in the teachings of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, aiming to uncover how their wisdom can help navigate modern life's complexities. In sharing her experiences, Brigid reveals how we can also harness Stoic principles to regain agency and tranquility. Her insights—ranging from relinquishing control to embracing our mortality and fostering community—are both humorous and profound. Stoicism, often perceived as harsh, becomes accessible and practical through her lens. This thoughtful and timely guide offers compelling reasons to embrace a worry-free life, filled with actionable wisdom for being fully present in the world.
