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.

Worth a listen

As usual it has many perspectives difficult to start practising immediately. But pondering about these will definitely make one a better person.

A profoundly useful book. Loved it!

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.

Excellent introduction to Stoic Philosophy

I'd recommend to anyone interested in getting a bird's view of Stoicism this book. It's well written, does not necessarily require the reader to follow in any particular order. The narration is clear and enjoyable.

Practical Handbook to Stoicism.

Stoicism is about practice. This book distills the practical aspects well. Almost all major Stoic Philosophers' opinions are covered while discussing various elements and externals. Narrator voice is well suited to the content.

Good Read !

An indepth references from the books by Marcus Aurelius & Seneca and substance was gradual for absorption of concept. Nevertheless, a good read !

Great read for anyone into Stoicism

After meditations and The Obstacle Is The Way, I enjoyed reading this book. It's great to take notes on the subject.
