Stoic in Love

‘This book would have been useful before we got married.’Anthony Congedo, Annie’s ex-husband‘Annie’s given me mostly spot-on relationship advice for years - even when I didn’t ask for it.’Catherine Chisholm, Annie’s friend

Annie Lawson is a former journalist who has had a diverse love life, from kiss chasey in the school yard in primary school, to a first pash as a teenager with braces to several boyfriends including one who alphabetised cereal packets, and finally to marriage, which ended. This all taught her that the key to a good relationship is not only lots of storage, regular holidays at a nice resort and someone who is funny, but finding a partner to do nothing with. She now works as a business editor after a stint on the dark side of the corporate world and is a devoted student of the Stoics, taking every opportunity to apply their wisdom to life’s hard things - from the workplace to matters of the heart.
