Stoic In Love Ancient wisdom to make dating, domestic boredom and break-ups a bit less terrible

Stoic in Love uses the ancient wisdom of Stoic philosophy to help find love, build relationships and determine whether to stay or go when things become predictable or go pear-shaped.

How can a philosophy not normally associated with matters of the heart help us make our relationships more fulfilling, fire up partnerships that are treading water, get the best from dating online and in real life, and gracefully exit when things turn sour? Stoicism provides a framework for focusing on what matters, providing space before you react and making a decision when confronted with difficulty. Whether it's dating a person wearing horns and a kaftan, navigating a relationship where blobs of toothpaste are left smeared in the bathroom sink or being dumped via text with just one word – "enough".

This book encompasses anecdotes from the dating, relationship and separation frontlines. From practical wisdom on how to navigate the world of dating, to insights to making relationships better and more enduring, to strategies for breaking up well. Stoicism reminds us that the world is all about change and to focus on things we can control such as our thoughts, behaviours and actions. And to not worry so much about things we cannot control.
