"Dies Buch gehört den Wenigsten. Vielleicht lebt selbst noch keiner von ihnen. Erst das Übermorgen gehört mir." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) rechnete in dieser Schrift mit dem Christentum ab - wie üblich in einem Tonfall, der dem "Philosophieren mit dem Hammer" gleichkam. Ein zentrales Werk in Nietzsches Schaffen!

While you can’t control the chaos around you, you can control how you respond to it. The solution lies in a powerful ancient philosophy that has stood the test of time… Stoicism offers a practical, grounded path to inner peace, resilience, and emotional clarity — no matter what life throws your way. You don’t have to stay stuck in the storm of modern life. Let Stoicism guide you back to clarity and calm — right where you are.

Stoicism is a practical philosophy that was founded by the ancient Greek philosopher, Zeno, over 2,000 years ago. It teaches that we cannot control external events, but we can control how we respond to them. By cultivating virtues such as wisdom, courage, and justice, we can learn to accept whatever comes our way and find peace and contentment in the present moment. In this audiobook, you will learn the key principles of stoicism and how they can be applied to modern life.

We've decided by consensus that consensus is good. In In Defense of Troublemakers, psychologist Charlan Nemeth argues that this principle is completely wrong: left unchallenged, the majority opinion is often biased, unoriginal, or false. It leads planes and markets to crash, causes juries to convict innocent people, and can quite literally make people think blue is green. In the name of comity, we embrace stupidity. We can make better decisions by embracing dissent. Dissent forces us to question the status quo, consider more information, and engage in creative decision-making.

Robert Prechter proposes a new science called socionomics. It's the study of how humans interact and how that interaction determines the course of the economy, culture, and history.

Stoicism has a lot to offer that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago—its guiding purpose was to help us to live better lives. The Stoic golden rule was that "we can't control external events, but we can choose how to respond to them". This idea can have a profound effect on how we exist in the world.
