Welcome to the contentment of the Stoic mindset, Abi Roberts. I think you will appreciate William Irvine’s The Stoic Challenge. I just listened to the short audiobook, and it has completely altered the way I experience setbacks, whether it be shattering a dish, suffering a financial hardship, or worse. Instead of feeling frustrated, irritated, or angry, try thinking of it as a challenge from the Stoic gods giving you an opportunity to learn wisdom and hone your resilience. You will find yourself laughing at their sardonic humor as each new challenge gets piled on the last. You will feel overwhelming gratitude for the blessings in your life as you practice negative visualization, memento mori, and other Stoic secrets to the good life.
