About this listen

The great insights of the Stoics are spread over a wide range of ancient sources. This book brings them all together for the first time. It systematically presents what the various Stoic philosophers said on every important topic, accompanied by an eloquent commentary that is clear and concise. The result is a set of philosophy lessons for everyone - the most valuable wisdom of ages past made available for our times, and for all time.

A very well coalesced book from the timeless teachings of the stoics. The best non fiction I've read/heard that has affected me deeply since Sapiens. A must read for anyone scarcely interested in philosophy.

A profoundly useful book. Loved it!
