Matthew Sharpe 
Stoicism, Bullying, and Beyond 
How to Keep Your Head When Others Around You Have Lost Theirs and Blame You

This is the first book applying Stoic philosophy, and its extraordinary exercises in resilience and self-care, to the epidemic problem of bullying and ‘mobbing’. Aimed preeminently at targets, it offers guidance on managing negative emotions, and making good decisions, in what for many people is the greatest challenge of their lives.
