Summary

“It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable." (Seneca, The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca: Essays and Letters)

What does it mean to be “unconquerable"?

Becoming unconquerable has nothing to do with forming an army or strengthening your muscles. In fact, it has nothing to do with anything physical at all. It’s about changing how you view the world and your part in it.

You become unconquerable when you learn how to deal with the curveballs of life. How do you find joy in your darkest hour? How do you feel rich when you have nothing?

You won’t find these teachings in today’s schools, but this is exactly what the ancient philosophers were teaching.  Events outside of your control should have no impact on your joy, happiness, peace, or confidence. If these things are going to happen anyway, why not turn them in to positive events?

Instead of always being the victim, turn yourself into the victor. All it takes is a shift in perspective; and that’s what Stoicism is all about.

The timeless wisdom of the Stoics can help anyone find inner peace and joy and Stoicism: Understanding and Practicing the Philosophy of the Stoics is the perfect starting point.

What are you waiting for? If you’re looking for true, unbreakable joy, and strength, get this audiobook to get started!

Good start point

I have been interested in stoicism for a while glad I read this it gave me alot of good info to get started in understanding stoic philosophy. Performance maybe feels a touch robotic but otherwise good.

Grab some daily wisdom

Kyle Faber takes the wisdom of the Stoics and wraps it up into several daily reflections. I’ve gone through t twice so far and have found different nuggets each time I’ve read it. Perfect for a student or a business person like myself looking to gain daily wisdom through Stoic philosophy. A nice follow up to his other books on stoicism.

Excellent Way to Learn and Practice Stoicism

The Kyle Faber says it all. I thought the December topic was depressing . I also recommend signing up for the daily emails from the Daily Stoic.

Inspiration every day

Now that I'm retired, my book budget is limited, so I was taking a big chance paying full price for it. IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. It looks to be my new favorite book. Inspiration every day.

Love and recommend

Great daily philosophic passages to help recenter after a long day or in the morning to inspire your day. We take notes under each passage. Recommended for a quick Dailey listen!

Creased Cover

It’s a fun listen , re-listen, etc. I’ve started the day with this book for two month and maybe, just maybe, it’s helped my pursuit of stoic mindfulness. Who knows?
