Is the current political discourse really necessary?
Reviewed: 09-08-23
I had great expectations for this book, but the constant left-leaning political commentary made it Ness art for me to skip over portions.
If by “modern stoicism” the author means “progressive” or “enlightened,” then she succeeded.
Alonso, it is set squarely in the pandemic and speaks almost exclusively to that past era.
But as a text for learning about ancient Stoicism and possible applications to today’s post-pandemic challenges, it failed me.

Let’s see if I heard this right -
1. Be like Lance Armstrong (lie, chest and steal)
2. Be like Jim Rome and get ahead at any cost, including trashing people and throwing fits if you don’t get your way
3. Abandon relationships with anyone who does not make as much money as you want to make
