A Fresh Take on Ancient Wisdom

A new book, Stay Positive with Marcus Aurelius: 79 Questions and Answers from Stoic Philosophy, offers a unique and inspiring approach to personal growth. Drawing on the enduring teachings of Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius, the book brings timeless wisdom into the modern world, showing readers how to stay grounded, resilient, and emotionally balanced in everyday life.

The Authors Behind the Vision
Written by Jana Capri and Charan Diaz Arquillo, the book is the result of a shared passion for philosophy, psychology, and personal development. Capri, a multilingual writer and NLP Master Practitioner based in Barcelona, combines her background in translation, creative writing, and psychosomatics with her love of meaningful communication. Diaz Arquillo, a psychologist with over 20 years of experience, brings depth to the work with his expertise in humanistic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and clinical hypnosis.

Together, they have created a practical, thought-provoking guide that blends ancient philosophy with modern therapeutic tools to support mental clarity and emotional well-being.

A Simple Yet Powerful Structure
Each of the 79 chapters is structured around a central question—something a modern “seeker” might ask when struggling with life’s challenges. These questions are followed by concise, reimagined responses based on Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, written in accessible, contemporary language. Each section then ends with a psychological reflection designed to deepen the reader’s understanding and encourage personal insight.

“The only way to stay positive long term is to stay connected to positive inspiration,” says Diaz Arquillo. “The words of Marcus Aurelius are still alive today. They help us see things from a higher perspective and remind us of what truly matters.”

A Book for Difficult Times
Whether you’re navigating issues related to work, love, health, or personal relationships, the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius offers calm and clarity. This book invites readers to step back from the noise of daily life, reflect deeply, and take practical steps toward inner peace and positivity.

Capri and Diaz Arquillo emphasize that maintaining a positive mindset isn’t a one-time fix—it’s a daily commitment. Like feeding a fire to keep it burning, the mind requires regular nourishment from uplifting, steady sources of inspiration.

An Invitation to Grow
More than a self-help manual, Stay Positive with Marcus Aurelius is an invitation to think, reflect, and grow. It’s part of The Stoic Philosophy Series—a collection of works aimed at making ancient wisdom relevant and useful for today’s world.

Ideal for readers interested in Stoicism, personal development, or mindful living, this book serves as a practical and compassionate companion on the journey to a more centered and meaningful life.
