must listen

This book captures the practical wisdom of Stoicism that gives us tools for tranquillity and purpose. The insights are similar to those in Buddhism but without Eastern mythological trappings. The insights are also echoed in Christianity which was directly influenced by Stoicism. Many people today join sects and cults to achieve some measure of emotional healing. Stoicism can do the same without so much esoteric nonsense.

Interesting Book!!!

A good historical epic acquainting us with the birth of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism, through which possible control of their emotions, thereby achieving a certain step from the current world order of total control and restrictions of free will. Controlling yourself in the author's opinion is an important step towards understanding the true destiny of man and achieving real happiness. I recommend.

awesome

The author does a great job of introducing various Stoic concepts and how Stoic philosophers I interpreted these concepts, but I was not a fan of how the book was explained as it felt like listening a history textbook

brilliant guide

The book gives a perfect introduction to Stoicism and how to make Stoicism work for maximum benefit. There is a lot to learn from this book, you will learn some parts of philosophy, understanding human emotions and freewill. I now understand affirmations as more of a way to prepare future responses to trying situations.

great book

It is a great book, but do not expect a sudden relevation; if its yours first book in the subject, probably you will be disapointed, also if you have too much about it, is a great book if you are use to take principles and apply those to your life
