What if the secret to living a happier life was simply changing our attitude about the things we experience?

In this enchanting new take on an age-old Stoic idea, an unlikely friendship teaches a faithful stock horse and a wily stable cat to see the world through each other’s eyes. Along the way, they learn a valuable lesson: there’s good to be found in everything, if we only take the time to look for it.

the stock horse and the stable cat

This much-loved classic from author Phil Van Treuren and Stoic Simple Press has been purchased and enjoyed by tens of thousands of happy readers!

 

The Stock Horse and the Stable Cat tells the story of two friends who have very different opinions about what should be called “good” and “bad.” As they walk on the ranch together one autumn day, they realize that their own opinions of the world might not be the only way to see things.

 

stoic book

The lesson in The Stock Horse and the Stable Cat is reflected in a passage that Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote to himself nearly two thousand years ago:

“If we limited ‘good’ and ‘bad’ to our own actions, we’d have no call to challenge Fate, or to treat others as enemies.” —  Marcus Aurelius

Wasn't what I was expecting.

Book was more about them thinking differently about situations. Didn't give you any input as how they even got to be friends. I wasn't impressed. Didn't even give to my grand daughter.

I'm so glad I bought this book. It's a beautiful story. My horse passed away last week after being my hero for 16 years. I'm glad I went inside this story. It made me understand how different we were in character, but we still knew each other at the end. 💕
