The Stoics discovered that thinking of challenges as tests of character can dramatically alter our emotional response to them. The result is a surprisingly simple strategy for dealing with life’s unpleasant and unexpected challenges-from minor setbacks like being caught in a traffic jam or having a flight cancelled to major setbacks like those experienced by physicist Stephen Hawking, who slowly lost the ability to move, and writer Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered from locked-in syndrome. This book uniquely combines ancient Stoic insights with techniques discovered by contemporary psychological research, such as anchoring and framing. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Some people bounce back in response to setbacks others break.

But they are unlikely to survive Appalachian snow - catastrophic population loss is certain, and extinction likely. They have been displaced from their historic wintering site in Mexico by environmental degradation and climate change. The book's central premise is that millions of monarch butterflies appear on a mountainside in eastern Tennessee. In Barbara Kingsolver's seventh novel Flight Behavior, climate change delivers antithetical weather to eastern Tennessee - such that "the neighbors' tomato crop had melted to liquid stench on the vine under the summer's nonstop rains, and their orchard grew a gray, fungal caul that was smothering the fruit and trees together." The novel is set in a year in the near future in which "the very snapping turtles had dragged themselves from silted ponds and roamed the soggy land looking for higher ground." That verb "roam" tempted this reader to picture the turtles on horseback, but that is a minor infelicity in a novel of great scope. The mercury hit 100 for ten consecutive days in some places last summer, and the drought of 2012 may be a preview of what climate change will bring: amber waves of extremely short corn.
