Poznejte stoické principy, které vám mohou změnit život Tato kniha vám pomůže mluvit a chovat se moudře, řídit se svými hodnotami a přemoci mnohé vášně, snášet bolest a smrt, a v neposlední řadě vzdát se strachu a přemoci hněv. Jak se zachovat vždy moudře a rozvážně? Co nám může pomoct v těžkých situacích? Mnoho císařů, kteří vládli ve své době největší známé říši, bylo zapomenuto. Na jejich busty v příšeří tmavých depozitářů muzeí sedá prach. Jeden z nich nás ale svými myšlenkami dokáže inspirovat i po dvou tisících letech. Marcus Aurelius. Později často představovaný jako nemocný nebo bledý, který ale přežil nejen zášť na římském dvoře, ale také smrt svých dětí, mnohaletý pobyt kdesi na severu v Panonii mezi divokými barbarskými kmeny nebo zradu svého nejbližšího přítele. Jak to dokázal, zachovat se vždy moudře a rozvážně? Co mu pomáhalo v těžkých situacích? Co se mu asi honilo v hlavě? Je to stoický přístup k věcem. Římský císař Marcus Aurelius byl zároveň posledním známým stoickým filosofem antického světa. Hovory k sobě, jeho osobní deník, jsou čtené dodnes jako jedno z klasických děl seberozvojové a duchovní literatury všech dob. Donald Robertson ve své knize umně propojuje Markův život s jeho filosofií, čímž vytváří přesvědčivou moderní příručku stoické moudrosti, kterou se po celá staletí řídil bezpočet jednotlivců na své cestě za dosažením většího naplnění a emoční odolnosti. Řekli o knize „Tato kniha je nádherným seznámením s jednou z nejvýznamnějších postav historie: Markem Aureliem. Jeho život a tato kniha jsou důležitým vodítkem pro ty z nás, kteří čelí nepřízni osudu, hledají klid a touží dosáhnout znamenitých kvalit.“ — Ryan Holiday, autor bestsellerů Překážka jako cesta, Klíčem je klid a Stoikův průvodce pro každý den „Kniha Donalda Robertsona je vynikajícím průvodcem, který čtenářům otevře a objasní Hovory k sobě Marca Aurelia i stoicismus obecně – avšak nejen to. Jako praktický manuál osobního rozvoje, kombinující starověkou moudrost a moderní psychologickou praxi, vám totiž pomůže nejen Myslet jako římský císař, ale především žít lepší, smysluplnější a spokojenější život.“ — Pavel Macek, zakladatel stoického projektu a komunity prokopton.cz a průvodce podcastu Semper Fortis Autor: Donald Robertson Typ knihy: audiokniha, e-kniha, tištěná kniha Vydavatelství: Nakladatelství Audiolibrix Vazba: pevná vazba Délka audioknihy: 9:49 h Počet stránek knihy: 304 Původní název: How to Think Like a Roman Emperor Audioknihu Myslet jako římský císař si můžete koupit v nejlepším obchodě s audioknihami Audiolibrix.

Cole Summers is a Senior SFG with StrongFirst. Cole's coaching history includes people from all walks of life and abilities, and he has also been a strength coach for Team Canada Women's National Volleyball Team, National Boxing Team members, Pro boxers, Olympic Hockey Team members, NHL and WHA Pro Team Champions, Manitoba Rugby Union, University of Winnipeg Women's Volleyball Team, University of Manitoba Women's Basketball team, and University of Manitoba track. He is based in Winnipeg, Canada. Since 2005 Cole has been been guided and supported by world famous Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale. Mauro is a scientific genius, MD, and author. He is a former World Champion, North American, many times Canadian National Champion Powerlifter. I follow and highly recommend Dr. Di Pasquale's books "Metabolic Diet", "Anabolic Solutions", and "Radical Diet". His guidance was and continues to be life changing for me and many champion athletes and ordinary folk. I am personally very fortunate and grateful to have met Cole in person. He was the Team Leader for my team during my StrongFirst SFG I and he had a tremendous impact on me and how I carry myself as a professional. Here is what you will learn in this episode: Cole's family lineage and coming from a long line of hockey players Sociological and Cultural changes from the 1970's to present day for men and women Teaching women's self-defense beginning in the 1970's Training high school athletes - what's the starting point for them? Do No Harm The Front Lever - Progressions and Training Recommendations and much more! Show Notes: The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker Randy Lahaie’s Blog Peyton Quinn’s books on Self Defense | Bouncer's Guide to Barroom Brawling and Real Fighting Marc MacYoung Bibliography StrongFirst Open Day in Canada with Senior SFG Cole Summers Addendum: Below are some additional comments and remarks from Cole Summers that he sent me after the interview was recorded and requested they be included for you the reader and listener. Enjoy! "Many of the StrongFirst Leadership, Masters, Seniors and Team Leaders are highly qualified and internationally respected martial arts instructors. These are people I hold in high esteem. I am honoured to call them my friends and I highly recommend people learn from them. For example, I spent several summers assisting at John Engum’s martial arts survival camp in Detroit Lakes, MN. StrongFirst Leadership Instructors there included Dr. Ricardo Nieves and Dr. Prentiss Rhodes. I was fortunate to take 2 of Peter Lakatos’ Krav Maga seminars at John Engum’s Academy of Taekwondo in Brainerd, MN. This past May, I trained in Prague with Pavel Macek of KB5 and Practical Hung Kyun. I’ve attended StrongFirst Certifications at Steve Milles’ Five Points Academy in New York City. I got to witness great fighters training and coaching there. I recommend any books from StrongFirst and they can be found here. My favorite exercises are the overhead press and the front lever. The first time I remember pressing a barbell overhead was in Mahtomedi, MN when I was 13 years old. Over the decades that followed I barbell pressed in my basement, at the lake, and in various gyms. I also enjoyed one arm pressing a 70-100 lb dumbbell overhead while standing on a small cliff overlooking the beautiful lake in NW Ontario where the family cabins are located. I purchased many kettlebells for my school and home after Pavel reintroduced kettlebells to the west in 2001. The overhead kettlebell press quickly became my lift of choice. It is also for many, like myself, the most shoulder friendly of the three. The front lever is meditative for me as I mentioned. However, in my experience, the exercise that gives the most bang for the buck...by far... is the kettlebell swing! I regularly use it with people of all ages and backgrounds...high school kids,doctors,nurses,athletic therapists, chiropractors, lawyers, engineers, police officers, musicians, singers, martial artists, hockey, basketball, volleyball, football players and more. After a winter (or several years) of training with me, which includes thousands of swings, my rugby players, male and female, are far quicker and they can repeat this quickness again and again. This is noticeable by everyone at the rugby park and especially their opponents! The other big bang mainstay in my coaching is the get-up. Several of my high school kids including members of our multiple Provincial Champion varsity basketball team(s) could perform get ups with the Beast 48kg kettlebell. I feel this helped them in many ways including easily ripping the ball from their opponent when fighting for it overhead."

In this interview I had the opportunity to sit down with Senior SFG, Pavel Macek. Pavel lives in the Czech Republic and runs a gym called KB5. He has also been a student of martial arts for the majority of his life and continues to practice currently. He began studying Judo initially and then segued into the chinese martial art of Practical Hung Kyun. He also is responsible for running StrongFirst Czech Republic. Here is what you will learn in this episode: Pavel's background in martial arts and journey to coaching, strength training, and StrongFirst Physical education in school and the impact it had on him as an adult How reading the Naked Warrior changed his perspective on training and tied into martial arts Using Easy Strength as a blueprint for youth students "Untying the chair" Why the first 3 months with a new student are critical and integrating students into group classes "The tool does not matter, the principles behind them are most important." and much more!
