THE STOIC CHEAT SHEET

The Stoic Cheat Sheet: Resilience for Daily Life
A Practical Guide to Staying Grounded, Calm, and Strong-No Matter What Life Throws Your
Way

Life is relentless-juggling family, work, and personal loss can leave you overwhelmed and
emotionally drained. Dr. Dave Dickey knows this firsthand. As a devoted father, youth sports
coach, senior analyst in the Defense and Intelligence Community, and full-time caregiver during

chaos. From those trials, The Stoic Cheat Sheet was born-a battle-tested guide to building
unshakable resilience and finding peace in life's toughest moments.

Seneca, alongside modern insights, Dr. Dickey distills practical tools to help you conquer stress,
