A 7-Day Retreat from Modern Chaos with Ancient Wisdom

We start with the most practical application of ancient wisdom: Stoicism. This book is the perfect entry point, translating the deep philosophy of the Stoics into an actionable strategy for modern life. It's your foundation for all that follows.

After learning the modern application of Stoicism yesterday, we go to the source. This is the private diary of a Roman Emperor, a raw and powerful look at the timeless struggle for virtue, discipline, and inner peace. It's a masterclass from an ancient master.

With the inner wisdom of Stoicism in hand, we turn to the ancient wisdom of strategy. This classic text's lessons on planning, deception, and knowing when to fight are as relevant in a boardroom as they were on a battlefield.

Building on the strategic thinking from The Art of War, this book explores the deep, ancient stories that guide us. It's a journey into the 'Hero's Journey' and the universal myths that have provided meaning and structure to human lives for millennia.

After exploring the grand myths of humanity, this book distills ancient Toltec wisdom into four beautifully simple rules for living. It’s a practical, powerful code of conduct that offers a clear path to personal freedom.

With a personal code from The Four Agreements, we now turn to ancient Eastern wisdom. This book is a conversation with the Dalai Lama about the Buddhist path to happiness, focusing on compassion and training the mind. A perfect complement to Western Stoicism.

For our finale, we journey inward. After a week of learning from different traditions, this book offers a timeless, universal spiritual teaching about consciousness and identity. It's the ultimate ancient wisdom: finding freedom by understanding your true self.
