Summary
“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.

Good topic churlish narration
I am sure that them information in this book is very useful. But, the narration is painfully child like. if you can tolerate it then go for it

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.

One of the MOST transformative reads
Based on my many years of interest in, reading, and listening to all manner of books of this nature, there is something quite amazing about this book.
I would say it’s one of the most consumable, well explained, and above all actionable books I’ve ever read. I don’t know much about the author, but based on the introduction it seems like he wrote this shortly after leaving high school during a sabbatical overseas. What is quite amazing is that it’s written with a level of maturity and wisdom that are well beyond the author’s years.
Of course, one could say that’s because the wisdom contained is very very old, but that’s not what I mean; it’s the way it’s written and explained that makes it so. A really phenomenal book.
If I had any negative thing to say about it, it would be only thing, which is extremely trivial and no way to detracts from the content… the way the narrator puts on a very strange voice whenever he quotes something from one of the Greek philosophers. And it’s quite funny really, some sort of Mr Miyagi voice. The first few times it slightly annoyed me, then I realised that, if I practice the philosophy of stoicism, it’s something I can easily overlook. It just is. Its no more than slightly amusing. And, ironically, I realise that if I really was able to call myself a stoic, I would not even have mentioned it here. But hey, I’m still learning and trying to put it all into practice. At least that’s my excuse. 🙂
In any case, it really genuinely is one of the best books on self-improvement, happiness, and generally being a good person, that I have ever read. Wonderful.
