Story
Empathy is an extremely powerful ability. It allows one to feel what others are feeling, sympathize with them, and eventually influence their emotions to help them overcome any negative feelings. This sensitivity to emotions can sometimes reflect negatively on empaths - they are often victims of dark psychology techniques. Luckily, there’s a way that allows empaths to protect their mind against emotional predators, and achieve superior control over their empathic powers – Stoicism!

We have intrigued the topics of narcissism for decades, and social scientists now agree that the topic has become a new epidemic. The term narcissism started about 2000 years ago when Ovid wrote the Myth of the Narcissus, which tells the story of Narcissus, a beautiful Greek hunter who one day looks and loves his reflection in a water pool. He has his own appearance obsessed and can not leave his reflection until he dies. The concept of narcissism was first suggested by the famous psychoanalyst.

Publisher's Summary
Learn about the history and philosophy of Stoicism - and how to apply its principles to your everyday life.
The ancient philosophy of Stoicism is currently experiencing somewhat of a revival in 21st-century popular culture, mainly because of its rational and logical approach to the challenges of our time. There has been a proliferation of Stoic references in modern movies and fiction, further increasing its popularity among a younger section of society that would normally not be interested in an apparently pure academic pursuit such as the study of philosophy.
This audiobook will provide you, the prospective student of Stoic philosophy, with a broader understanding of the people and forces that combined to create one of the most enduring and influential philosophies of all time.
Furthermore, we’ll explore how you can apply Stoic principles to your everyday life - and how this will help you develop your character, stay calm in the face of adversity, and achieve greater success in your life.
During the course of this audiobook, you will learn about:
- The origins of Stoicism
- Zeno of Citium and the first school of Stoicism
- Seneca the Younger
- Epictetus and the discourses
- The meditations of Marcus Aurelius
- Stoicism’s influence on Roman life and thought
- Stoic philosophy today
- Applying Stoic principles to your everyday life
- And more!
Begin your journey to Stoic mastery!

Well organized and well narrated
The book summarizes the basic guiding principles and beliefs of Wicca, and provides some historic background from old pagan beliefs. The author truly intended the book for solitary practitioners, so he leaves a lot of leeway for one's interpretation of Wicca and provides some direct examples of rituals from his own practice
