Summary

Stoicism, one of the oldest Western philosophical schools, has enchanted scholars and the general public alike for over 2,000 years. Where some accounts of human nature and the particularly human good fall short by the reduction of human being to physical or psychical phenomena, Stoicism's power lies in engaging with the whole range of human experience, addressing rationality, emotion, piety, will, and both inner and outer impressions, each on their own terms, in language that treats each as significant in its own right.

Stoicism is an active philosophy. That means that it is not enough to know its doctrines, one must also live them, develop habits that expand on and complete their ideas in practice. Practice, therefore, is also the focus of this book. The development of the listener's inner and outer life, that they may follow their own path and discover what it means to "live life in accordance with nature".

This book is a general introduction to Stoicism that pulls no punches when faced with the more complex aspects of Stoic doctrine.

Topics addressed include:

  • The history of the ancient Stoics.
  • The nature of good and evil, virtue and vice, and positive and negative externals.
  • The difference between those things in our control and those things not in our control.
  • Stoic Logic and practical reasoning.
  • Stoicism's role in the development of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
  • Stoic exercises and daily practice.
  • Theology's role in Stoicism and Stoic cosmology.
  • And much more!

This audiobook was inspiring and so well explained

I really enjoyed this book and found it very educational. Stoicism is the idea that you must be virtuous and overcome negativity in your own life, which can be hard in and of it self, but the author creates such a dynamic idea about the philosophy that it can be used by anyone. A comprehensive go-to guide to living a more fulfilled life and setting yourself free from the worries of this world no matter who you are, where you live, or how much experience you have.

Really useful

I am very impressed with this book.It's a fantastic book with simple, yet powerful descriptions of the most important Stoic assumptions. Great guide for both those not very familiar with the philosophy. If you guys are interested to get good understanding over stoicism & psychology, then you’re in the right place now.Throughout this book, i learned a lot on the topic.
