The Self-Sovereign Woman : Stoic Wisdom for Claiming Your Inner Authority and Liberating Your Life

Get grounded in your personal non-negotiables and radically let go of the rest: this is Stoicism that works for women, and it will lead you to reclaiming your sanity, serenity, and ultimately, your life. From the invisible load to default parenting to pressures to perform at work, at home, and online, every day in a woman’s life is loaded with demands to accommodate everyone else’s needs at the expense of her own. The Self-Sovereign Woman proposes the ancient remedy for the modern woman who’s had it and is ready to live from her integrity and reclaim her wellbeing. With the same irreverent wisdom that has charmed over 250,000 followers, writer and age activist Wendy Euler introduces a vision of Stoicism that works for women. While historically this philosophy has belonged primarily to dead white men, the Stoic way of shedding what no longer serves you is uniquely suited to women and now has never been a better time to take no sh*t and take it to heart. This book is your invitation to self-sovereignty in your body and style, digital life, professional life, relationships, and more, through practicing acceptance of what you can’t control and agency in what you can. Wendy guides radical personalization of Stoic principles for women to: identify your daily non-negotiables,live lighter through letting go,and ultimately experience “eudaimonia,” the wellbeing that blossoms when you live in touch with your peace and power. Serenity is an inside job, and lightening your life from outside expectation can become your path to the peace, contentment, and self-trust you so desperately seek.
