About 30 Rules To Live By: How Small Timeless Habits Completely Change Your View On Wealth, Desire And Everyday Vices To Reach Long-Lasting Happiness
“The problem isn’t that we are unhappy. It’s that we expect to be happy all of the time…
Since the beginning of time, humankind has grappled with the quest for happiness. Be it expressed in religion, philosophy or bestselling literature; they all look for a way to reach that lofty goal.
This prompts the question: what does it mean to be happy? Is it found in the fabulous vacation pictures on a friend’s social media feed? The glamor of a celebrity flitting down the red carpet, trailed by scores of paparazzi?
You know your friend is in debt up to their ears because of those vacations. And, while you may not know celebrities, you read enough about them to know that happiness is a transient state for them, too. Can anyone be truly happy all of the time?
Part of the problem of the current condition is what we perceive happiness to be. In The Conversation, Rafael Euba, Consultant and Senior Lecturer in Old Age Psychiatry, baldly states happiness isn’t a natural outcome of the human experience.
Euba describes happiness as a “”mental construct”” that has imprisoned many, causing them to believe that they have failed because their lives aren’t blissfully happy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Contrast this to the Stoics’ attitude that a happy life results from managing one’s emotions, expectations, and reactions to external, lived reality.
They may have been stern-faced gentlemen, but many who have incorporated the ancient Greeks’ timeless wisdom into their daily lives report that they can face life’s challenges with greater equanimity… and are happier as a result.
After all, there is a reason why at the pinnacle of success, luminaries like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Bill Gates studied and admired the stoics.
30 Rules To Live By breaks the all-encompassing power of thinkers like Seneca, Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius down into 30 small and digestible steps.
Without being a primer on Stoicism or heavy and dry philosophy, the book is here to help you integrate its basic principles into your everyday experiences.
In 30-days’ time, the pragmatic wisdom of humankind’s biggest thinkers, accompanied by simple action steps in this book, will serve you to discover:
• The true secret to happiness and why it continues to elude so many people
• A two-step strategy to successfully control the impact of good and evil on your life… and the difference it makes to your personal growth

• A 5-step plan for conquering worry before it gets out of control (inspired by Marcus Aurelius’ wisdom)
• “”Why luck favors the prepared”” (and how to prepare for your luck)
• How to overcome self-doubt and be your own person, even if everyone is against you
• Seneca’s recipe to living a fuller, happier life (one “”ingredient”” only!)
… and much, much more!
