A good introduction (or reminder) for Stoics
A good introduction (or reminder) for Stoics.
This book gets straight down to business and I like how it avoids the lengthy personal anecdotes and diversions found in similar offerings.
As someone who has read many modern Stoic books before there was little new here, however it did offer further reflection on salient points and gave me some reminders of where I have often strayed.
I’d recommend to anyone with an interests in Stoicism.

Good, short, accessible.
It is of note that the book is not long: around 3 hours. If you wanted a longer and more in-depth book then this may not be for you, but the books manages to do well what it promises to do: be a basic, beginner-friendly guide to stoicism.
The performance is good and the content of the book is interesting.

Great beginner's guide to Stoicism
This was Just the kind of book I was looking for on stoicism, I love the practical application and examples set forth in the book. My only gripe is that it could have been longer, but luckily the author provides more resources on stoicism to delve into in the end. The narration is excellent. Highly recommended!

Loved the whole book. A great overview or summary of all things Stoic. Light, easy and informative.
It will be referred to again.
Highly recommended.

More Quotes Than Useful Examples
Probably a fine and short summary of what stoicism is, smack full of quotations from classical works, but I feel a lack of practical examples makes it less than useful. Time and again the message I got from the book was that whenever faced with strong opposition, I should just fold, roll over and give up. Or, well, make a tactical retreat and say that I did my best and well, what can you do. Back off and maybe try again. Perhaps that is the message of the book, perhaps not. I will need to listen to this again a few times to see if things clear up.

Great introduction to Stoicism
I had read other work on Stoicism.. and nothing can be too simple or introductory, so for me I still took in a lot from this nice introduction. I plan to re-listen.. A nice accessible introduction
