About this listen

“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?” (Epictetus, Stoic philosopher)

Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts?

While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were.

This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you and live up to your best self.

A mix of timeless wisdom and empowering advice, The Little Book of Stoicism will point the way to anyone seeking a calm and wise life in a chaotic world.

Great content, terrible reading

The person reading sounds like a robot and sometimes simple words in the weirdest ways

Off-putting narrator

This was excellent but the comically bad “philosopher voices” put on by the narrator ruined it.

Great book

I enjoyed it, very good basics. Many of the public speaker e.g Anthony Robins seems like they got their way of thinking from stoicism.

I would recommend.

The narrator will drive you mad!

The book is actually very good although the narrator destroys it. Do not down load the audio! Buy the book and read it yourself.
