Oh Man!  You guys out there must have done something pretty special to have pleased me recently, as I’m still feeling mighty generous (but not for long – *reverts back into Ebenezer Scrooge mode*) since the last post.

I came across a useful ebook the other day on, SelfGrowth.com which is a site that I post self-improvement articles to from time to time.  The ebook in question is entitled, How to Survive and Thrive During Our Economic Crisis.

This particular book contains wise financial crisis tips and advice on how you can live relatively stress-free and comfortably whilst cutting back on the things that are not a necessity.  This is relevant for me because since the arrival of our little boy last year it’s been a bit of a struggle and we have had to watch the pennies coming in and going out religiously.

We didn’t even get to go away this summer for a break.  But to be honest with you, a holiday is definitely not at the top of my list of things to spend money on, especially when you have a baby requiring food, nappies and shelter.

Well, I just like to reward you guys for all the support you have given me so far by sharing with you this free self-help ebook.  Yeah, it’s not much, but that’s all I can afford at the moment – sorry.  Hopefully this book can provide you with the practical wisdom and a philosophical outlook towards managing any financial difficulties of your own.

Thanks again for visiting and commenting on this other attention seeking baby of mine.

Are you one of the many millions who are suffering because of the economic crisis?

Is it a struggle to find two pence to rub together so you can buy a good book to read?

Well, with Christmas (Yes, I mentioned the big ‘C’ word) being  just around the corner I thought I’d cheer you guys up by starting the festivities early and to share with you some free philosophy eBooks and audio books to warm the cockles of your mind.

If anyone reading this blog is in actual hardship or worries because of their financial situation maybe it’s the time to think like a Stoic and attain the wisdom to live within your means contentedly and with equanimity.

Written in Greek by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and Aurelius’s own emotions.

But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.
