Description
“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?” (Epictetus, Stoic philosopher)
Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts?
While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were.
This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you and live up to your best self.
A mix of timeless wisdom and empowering advice, The Little Book of Stoicism will point the way to anyone seeking a calm and wise life in a chaotic world.

Noticeable Improvement
I started this book in December and by the end of the month my wife told me she’d noticed an improvement in my demeanor, especially my patience with the kids. I hadn’t told her I was reading it either. Now that I’m done, I think I’ll keep re-reading!

Great practical wisdom on Stoicism!
Simply amazing. Timeless wisdom and articulate narration. Ancient Stoicism texts can be dull and hard to digest. The author does a wonderful job interpreting lessons and advice from these amazing Stoic philosophers. Easy to digest with plenty of practical examples. This is a book to not only learn the basics but apply them in everyday life. Stoic practitioners aren't just keyboard warriors but warriors philosophers. To practice Stoicism is not just reading about it, it's also about practicing, training and embodying the Stoic values. It teaches you to live well and also die well. I usually don't finish audio books, but I did with this one!

Succict dissection of Stoic practices
This book is exactly what I was looking for. Quotes of wisdom from the founders of Stoicism entwined with practical tools and examples for incorporating into my life.

A good introducción to Stoicism
From the start you can immediately notice a great effort to do the best summary of the stoic philosophy,l. However the book understood its target wanted practice and that is the majority of the book practices based on stoic ideas. This book however should be treated only as an introduction to the study of Stoicism in my humble opinion. From a mechanical standpoint the chapters don't correlate to the words being said. for example in the index it says Chapter 6 but the narrator says Chapter 8. Also it would be really helpful to have the chapters names in the index for note taking.

This book kicks butt!!
I’ve read and listened to many books on Stoicism. Many by the most popular author on Stoicism. All of them are filled with great info. Stoicism is great at helping you through the tough times but also a model for how to live a good and honorable life.
I love that this book breaks Stoicism down into lots of bit sized lessons. Very helpful info.
Get this book if you really want to understand Stoicism. My opinion is that it’s “top notch” and one of if not the best books on Stoicism.

Good material, a little dorky delivery
The narration is decent until they go to read any quote from an ancient philosopher. All of the quotes are done in a really strange accent that comes off as just silly. it was so hard to take those sections seriously. It stinks because I would love to share this with others, but I can't bring myself to tell them about the audio book, just the hard copy.

Worst Narration I’ve Ever Heard
I thought the narrator’s voice was weird on the sample, but I bought it anyway. I shouldn’t have. There’s something very wrong with his voice, it almost sounds like he’s not a native English speaker. His “ancient philosopher” voice is ridiculous, too, like a child’s impression of what an ancient philosopher would sound like. It totally distracted me throughout the whole book . . . it basically ruined the book for me. Otherwise, I found the content to be average. There’s some good advice and some good summaries of stoic perspective, but the techniques for applying stoicism to one’s life are pretty routine.

kinda things that we already know put in principle
if you have read a lot of self help books before, or have a religions background, you will feel alot of overlapping, however this is logical, nevertheless, it's an interesting book to listen to if you have a spare of 7 hours
