The Stoic Teacher: Ancient Mind Hacks to Help Educators Foster Resiliency, Optimism, and Inner Calm

In this practical and accessible self-help book for educators, teacher and well-known student of Stoicism, Ryan Racine, shows us how the ancient philosophy can help teachers deal with day-to-day stresses, manage classroom behavior better, and strive to become better teachers! The book, the first to teach Stoicism for teachers, is full of important lessons such as:

focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you can’t

preparing for problems without anxiety

creating realistic and achievable goals

fostering an attitude of gratitude for what went well even on a bad day.

Written in a warm tone, The Stoic Teacher intertwines discussion of ancient philosophy with practical activities to help teachers apply Stoicism to their teaching practice. Discussion questions, and a chapter of reflections from teachers using Stoicism can inspire you to find a way to use what you’ve learned!

Whether you’re looking for a little help dealing with some difficulties or hoping to embrace a new outlook on life, whether you read it cover-to-cover, or pick the chapters you need now, The Stoic Teacher has something for everyone!
