RE: Book notes: Thrive or what I learned about managing your life from Arianna Huffington
hi @wcy
you're right, maybe there's nothing in this book that we haven't heard before. Probably because these are the things that generally help in improving one's life. I particularly agree with walking, detaching from technology and learning to be grateful. And which do you think are most important? instead, I can't put stoicism into practice, probably because it's a discourse related to one's self-esteem. How do you do it? I feel crushed ...
Weird to recommend another book here but I think Obstacle is the Way captures the essence of stoicism in a tactical manner that might help you. Basically, it's about developing the mindset that what happens to you is something that you cannot control but what you do about it is. So when life throws you problems and obstacles, you can throw up your hands and give up OR you can see them as opportunities to grow and improve yourself.
