About this listen

We worry about how to lead a good life whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or just how to be happy.

There's no more elusive goal. Stoicism is the best way to achieve it, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that focuses our attention on what's possible and gives us insight into what's unimportant. We can learn to answer crucial questions by understanding the philosophy:

  • Should we get married or divorced?
  • In a world that is almost destroyed by a financial crisis, how should we handle our money?
  • How can we survive a great tragedy of our own?

Whoever we are, Stoicism has something for us - and the essential guide is Stoicism as a Way of Life. We can all benefit from being immune to the negative and vicissitudes of life in this way. Our modern life is so full of worries and insecurities, and peace and fulfillment are things that most people are trying to find outside themselves. Stoicism teaches that these are things that we can find only from within ourselves, and gives us the necessary tools and mind-set to build them up.

This audiobook will help you to:

  • Find the formula to improve the quality of your life.
  • Try inspiration by the real-life situation studied in the book.
  • Find out when and where this philosophy started.
  • Discover the deep path to happiness.
  • Uncover the secret formula of powerful people of the past. Find your deep path to happiness.

Excellent Book

This is an excellent book on the basics of Stoic philosophy, with an emphasis on Stoic practices and exercises. It could be read straight through, but it could easily be used a reference because the structure of the book is so strictly outlined and divided into sections according to the outline. The content was clear and concise, and a reader with little or no previous philosophical knowledge should be able to understand it. I recommend it.

Good intro into Stoocism

This was a good start in understanding the basic principles into Stoicism. The book will help you to remain focus. The one thing that I found distracting was how many times it referenced Marcus Arilius memoirs Meditations.

Five Stars

This was my first book on practical Stoicism, and it was certainly enjoyable. The author provides a balanced and captivating treatment of Stoic ancient philosophy and practice, updated for the 21st century. This is not just a handy introduction to Stoicism as a philosophy, it is a how-to manual that would have made Epictectus smile.

Exceptional

This is easily my favorite modern book on Stoicism to date. I loved the scholarly and precise language which was so clear. It was written just at my level, a fervent beginner who wanted to grasp the real intent behind Stoicism.

Excellent Study

The author does cover some important aspects of stoicism. But he puts his own twist on Stoicism, and comes off as quite arrogant.
