Summary
We're all searching for answers to the biggest questions: How can we be good? Find calm? Properly grieve? Beat FOMO? Work out what truly matters? Well, the good news is that the wisest minds in history asked the exact same questions - and they found answers. The ancient philosophy of Stoicism shows us that we are already in possession of the very tools we need to excavate this much-needed wisdom for ourselves.
So into the past we go with journalist Brigid Delaney, to a time not unlike our own: one full of pandemonium, war, plagues, pestilence, treachery, corruption, anxiety, overindulgence, and - even back then - the fear of a climate apocalypse. By living and learning the teachings of three ancient guides, Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, Brigid shows us how we can apply their lessons to our modern lives in a way that allows us to regain a sense of agency and tranquillity.
Stoicism can be a tough medicine to swallow, but no longer - this book is awash with insight, humour and compassion. Timely, so very useful, and filled to the brim with ways you can wrest back control, here are all the reasons not to worry.

Great introduction to Stoicism for those who are curious.
I enjoyed the straightforwardness of the author, and the narrators accent suited the content. I listened to it straight through, but will listen again to take notes.

Relatable Stoicism
Having read many books on Stoicism, I was a bit sceptical about whether this one would add any value. It did. It’s written by someone that is clearly not an academic, but has done her homework, and has sought to put the principles of Stoicism into practice in everyday life, in a way that anyone can relate to. Some of her reflections mirror my own journey and approach. Practical, insightful and encouraging.
