It systematically presents what the various Stoic philosophers said on every important topic, accompanied by an eloquent commentary that is clear and concise. The result is a set of philosophy lessons for everyone - the most valuable wisdom of ages past made available for our times, and for all time.

What were they thinking??
This is a great book, i have been listening on audible and decided i also wanted the paper version as it is a book meant to be read more than once. Every pages is like this except for the preface and intro. I will sadly return it and hope that they have figured it out in time for the paperback version.

    Reviewed in Canada on September 18, 2023

    After spending years on and off reading Stoicism from the horses mouths, namely Epictetus, Aurelius and Seneca, I was still prisoner of an impenetrable fog. How to apply their wisdom in my own life was a mystery, not knowing where to begin with. Then I read a few contemporaries trying to carry the essence of their teachings for us. Many did well but none made it completely clear. M. Farnsworth’s book was like a revelation. The way he penetrates straight through the very essence of stoicism and exposes it in a practical way, I haven’t seen anywhere else so far. This book is worth its weight in gold for anyone wishing to apply Stoicism to his/her life.

    If you're interested in Stoicism at all, this book is a great companion to the classic works. Goes into great detail on the major stoic principles using quotes from multiple thinkers and plain language in interpreting them.

    An absolute joy to read!

    Unlike other works, it doesn't adapt the translations(replacing he with something more neutral) and presents reasonable arguments in the last chapter.

    The author doesn’t claim to be a philosopher, unlike many others, or a stoic for that matter.

    This book explains the core principles of the stoic philosophy, what to expect from it, what not to expect, why the stoics didn't call themselves stoics and it's criticism.

    Just buy this one and forget about other books on the same subject, this is all you need.
    I also own The Daily Stoic however, I found this book more immersive and all-around better.
