Please feel free to download and share with your friends. This is a five-page PDF guide, called the Stoic Therapy Toolkit, designed to help provide a neat summary of the most important Stoic psychological practices.

Very useful summary, I will carry it in my work bag! Camelia Vasilov

Excellent! Thank you for your tireless work in making this valuable philosophy so accessible in our busy world. Deborah L Gariepy

I’ve been asked many times for a Stoic “cheat sheet” or summary of key ideas and practical techniques. So I decided to create one based on my books on Stoicism: The Philosophy of CBT (2010), Build your Resilience (2012) and Stoicism and the Art of Happiness (2013). Thanks to all the individuals who provided feedback and suggestions based on the draft. We’re confident now that this provides a good summary of key points, which most people will find beneficial.

Thanks, looks beautiful. Can’t spare a tip but bought one of your books. 🙂 Vince

Thank so much, Donald! It’s awesome to see how hard you work – for all of us! Michael van der Galien

Thank you! Clear, concise, practical and actionable. No matter how busy or preoccupied one is (or has to be) during the day, store this kit in your memory, incorporate these quick contemplations, and the tools will adapt to any occasion! Gaelle1947

This printable PDF document will give you a good overview of Stoicism, and a reminder of daily practices. Many people contributed to the wording and Rocio de Torres, our graphic designer, has given it a new look. So we’re confident you’ll appreciate the end result and find it valuable as a guide to living like a Stoic. Once you’re registered on this site, we’ll also be able to email you if we make any revisions to improve the content.

Contents

1. Introduction
2. The Goal of Virtue
3. Daily Routine
4. Four Stoic Meditations
5. Therapy of the Passions

If you’re completely new to Stoicism, it’s a good place to start. However, we can’t compress the whole philosophy into a few pages, it’s just a summary, so you will need to read the Stoics to gain a more complete understanding of their concepts and techniques.
