Description
A practical, refreshingly optimistic guide that uses centuries-old wisdom to help us better cope with the stresses of modern living.
Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.
This book uniquely combines ancient Stoic insights with techniques discovered by contemporary psychological research, such as anchoring and framing. The result is a surprisingly simple strategy for dealing with life’s unpleasant and unexpected challenges - from minor setbacks like being caught in a traffic jam or having a flight cancelled to major setbacks like those experienced by physicist Stephen Hawking, who slowly lost the ability to move, and writer Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered from locked-in syndrome.
The Stoics discovered that thinking of challenges as tests of character can dramatically alter our emotional response to them. Irvine’s updated “Stoic test strategy” teaches us how to transform life’s stumbling blocks into opportunities for becoming calmer, tougher, and more resilient. Not only can we overcome everyday obstacles - we can benefit from them, too.

mostly condescending with some exceptions
The parts of the book about framing and death are really helpful, but you can probably just throw the rest out. It's a little galling to be told to "experience poverty" by wearing poorer quality clothes and eating simpler food in the same book where a man talks about going to Paris on the invite of a cultural minister. People don't fear poverty because the food isn't as good, they fear it because they might not be able to feed their children at all, so this advice is both condescending and useless. As is the bashing of therapy and anger felt by civil rights groups. All in all, this reads of a privileged man with no experience in poverty or discrimination declaring his opinions on these topics anyway, and then declaring his way is the only way to a fulfilling life.

Trivial
Just another emotional recipe collection. Poor research, glib, opinionated, irrelevant. Want my money back audible.

Rehashing of points in Irvine's previous work
If you've read A Guide to the Good Life, there is nothing new here.

The first 5 chapters are Okay, the rest is great.
I love the portions on framing and building mental toughness. Chapters 5-Conclusion are great. Can't wait for his next book.

Be a Stoic, Really?
Favorite. Just superb. Equally Surprising. If you ever took a University Course in Philosophy this book will make you want to sue for malpractice. Studying Whiteheaad and Russell when you could be changing your lived experience...shame on academic philosophers, give me a philosophy of life!

3 Paragraphs would have been enough
This was an unfortunate attempt at providing a summary of a few stoic concepts and strategies. It was a grab for money, not truth. 3 Paragraphs would have been enough.

Be aware of events in one’s life
The phase of The Stoic gods are tongue in cheek for me, but an interesting way to blame an event.
Would be a good gift.
Now it will be interesting to really see how I am accepting events in my life. So far I feel I accept life, good and bad, as what is and go through an experience knowing that I am safe in the long run. Perhaps, for me, it is because I am a follower of Jesus Christ.

Great examples of the Stoic concepts
I like the way William gave great modern day examples of how to implement the Stoic techniques in today's world. He made it easy to understand and to relate to. I finished the audio book in one sitting and now on my second round to try to absorb the information.
Thank you.
