It is the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, who will show us how. Like all of us, Marcus had a temper. Unlike most of us, Marcus had no reason to tame it. He was a man of almost unlimited power. He could say and do whatever he wanted with no concern for the prospect of consequences.

And yet, as a man dedicated to self-mastery, he saw the importance of prevailing over the instinct to anger. In a world where people were often driven by passion over reason, where restraint was a principle followed by few, Marcus Aurelius struggled to be better. Because, as he saw it, “the nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.”

Just think about what your life might look like with a calm mind. Imagine a world where you possessed the strength to control your temper. Taming Your Temper: The 11-Day Stoic Guide to Controlling Anger is designed to provide you with the tools and techniques to achieve both.

Using the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, as well as other notable Stoic thinkers, we will help you seek the calm that Marcus sought, and build the strength that he forged, in order to weaken anger’s grasp on your life.
