The series
Three books, three ideas
Each book takes one foundational Stoic idea and gives it the whole book: the idea, the hard cases where it seems to fail, and the practices that make it usable. Every one stands alone.

Love What Happens
The Stoic Art of Amor Fati and Meeting the Life You’re Given
Stoicism’s most arresting idea — amor fati, the love of fate — given a whole book, so you can actually live it. Love What Happens follows one idea into the unchosen life, the body, regret, and genuine injustice, draws a hard line against “everything happens for a reason,” and turns acceptance into a daily practice.

The Time You Have
The Stoic Practice of Memento Mori and Letting Death Teach You to Live
Stoicism’s most arresting practice — memento mori — given a whole book, so you can actually use it. The Time You Have shows why keeping death in view is the opposite of morbid: it is what shrinks the trivial, ends the deferred life, and wakes you up to the time you have.
- The idea
- Memento mori
- Sources
- Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Cicero
- Length
