How To Be A Stoic When You Don't Know How
Even though Stoicism has been around for over 2,300 years, practically everything that the early Stoics wrote for the first three hundred years is lost. So, we need to reconstruct Stoicism from secondary writings and from the writings of the later Stoics. It is difficult to know where to begin. A clear guide to Stoicism, even if it is not perfect, is a good place to start. Once we have the basics in place it is easy to build upon them. That's where this book comes in. What does this book aim to do?A clear road mapWe may know a lot about Stoicism and yet may not have a clear road map for achieving the Stoic goal of a life that runs smoothly.

Parts I and II give an overview of what service quality is and how standard measurement techniques can actually mislead if used incorrectly. In Part III, Chakrapani uses his "P3D3" matrix to explain which tool works best for different measurement needs. Part IV describes how to measure customer satisfaction, and Parts V and VI tie it all together with a discussion of developing a philosophy of quality and an overview of how to apply the right tools to different measurement problems.

Manual of Reformed Stoicism
This book is a manifesto of reformed Stoicism. It proposes a system of life which is bullet-proof, universal, viable and effective in every cosmic setting. It holds in every possible universe, under any government and within any economic system. We can be reformed Stoics no matter what we believe in. Reformed Stoicism is about enjoying and exercising our agency. In other words, it’s about the flow of making autonomous and right decisions, and about celebrating our ability to make them. With no reliance on nature, with the recalibration of metaphysical positions, with skepticism towards grand discourses and universal answers, with an emphasis on the usefulness instead of truthfulness of narratives, with no reference to the vanity argument, with criticism of both conservative and ascetic misinterpretations of Stoicism, with an overall softer and more empathic approach, we can no longer be defined by the generic term “Stoicism”. Our time, in short, calls for a fresh interpretation of Stoicism. It is time for a new generation of Stoics. Thus: reformed Stoicism.
Stoic Choices
Stoic Choices is the plain English version of Discourses Book II by the eminent Stoic philosopher, Epictetus. Here are some of the choices discussed in this book: What should you act upon: External things or internal things? When should you choose to be confident and when to be cautious in making decisions? What should you protect: Your inherent qualities or qualities that are not inherent to you? Is there a choice between knowledge and action? Is there a choice between knowledge and anxiety? Should you study logic? Why? Choose to be faithful. Choose habits that fight impressions. Show yourself to be worthy. Choose to be skillful.
The Good Life Handbook
The Good Life Handbook is a rendering of Enchiridion in plain English. It is a concise summary of the teachings of Epictetus, as transcribed and later summarized by his student Flavius Arrian. The Handbook is a guide to the good life. It answers the question, "How can we be good and live free and happy, no matter what else is happening around us?" Ancient Stoics lived in a time of turmoil under difficult conditions. So, the solutions they found to living free was tested under very stringent conditions. For example, the author of this Handbook was a lame slave who made himself free and happy later in life by following the principles set out in this book. Now The Stoic Gym offers The Good Life Handbook by Dr Chuck Chakrapani to interested readers free (Kindle and other online versions). Please get your copy in your favorite online bookstore.
Stoic Meditations
This is the first of two volumes in the Marcus Aurelius Complete Works in the Stoicism in Plain English series. Meditations by Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE) is probably the most beloved, uplifting, and widely read classic of Stoic philosophy. Marcus ruled the greatest empire the world had seen up until his time. Yet he faced several problems, both personal and political. His empire was repeatedly invaded, Cassius revolted against him, his wife was unfaithful, and his son was incompetent and, later, cruel. But Aurelius was a Stoic and took everything in his stride. As he got closer to the end of his life, he began writing his thoughts in his journal. There were twelve "books" in all. They were not meant for publication and had no titles. These twelve books were collectively known as To Himself, and are now generally called Meditations. This is the plain English translation, updated by Chuck Chakrapani of The Stoic Gym.
