Thinking Like a Stoic

What if ancient Stoics had access to modern neuroscience, psychology, and the complexities of today?


Thinking Like a Stoic explores the integration of Stoic philosophy with modern psychology, promoting a positive mindset and clear, logical reasoning. Jay Pacheco guides readers through virtues like wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance, aligning them with a positive mental attitude (PMA) and critical thinking to overcome challenges. Covering figures from Marcus Aurelius to Buddha, and samurai to psychologists, it blends storytelling and research for resilient living.


Readers will learn about emotion regulation, composure, and sound decision-making, similar to that of judges.


Through real-life examples of leaders and ordinary individuals, the book provides practical techniques for cultivating inner strength, ethics, and optimism. It’s an educational and motivational guide for virtue, wisdom, and courage in an unpredictable world.


Get inspired to observe deeply, think critically, and live assertively—the Stoic way.
