For an obsessive-compulsive (O-C for short), the idea of traveling is usually nothing more than that, an idea. An O-C actually doing the traveling is a terrifying prospect; we are far too circumscribed and self-regulated to accomplish the planning, get on the planes, find our accommodations at our destinations, and actually enjoy the process. Fold in introversion, and you’ve got a crippling combination. Solo travel? Forget it.
“Travel for STOICs” is both a travel book and a survival manual, but of a different sort. It’s not about which great restaurants to patronize or what sites are a must-see in a given place; it’s about how to master solo travel challenges that happen in between those activities while successfully managing your O-C, introverted self. This book is especially for the STOIC—the Solo Traveler: Obsessive, Introverted, Compulsive—and for those who care about our well-being and happiness.
Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca offer ancient wisdom still relevant today. Part travel guide, part self-help book, and part memoir, “Travel for STOICs” is THE book for the Solo Traveler who is Obsessive, Introverted, and Compulsive, informed and empowered by these ideas borrowed from ancient Stoicism. Written specifically for those who dream of escaping, or at least being granted a temporary furlough, from the prison of the obsessive-compulsive and introverted, “Travel for STOICs” chronicles a sampling of STOIC experiences and illuminates the ways in which Stoic philosophy can strengthen, as Marcus Aurelius puts it, “the ruling power within us.”
