About this listen

The great insights of the Stoics are spread over a wide range of ancient sources. This book brings them all together for the first time. 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.

As the title suggests this is a practical guide to the application of stoicism, calling upon the various perspectives of stoic figures through history. Divided into topics such as Virtue, Anger and Death it is easily accessible and a good reference text whilst remaining eminently readable.

A fantastic systematic account of stoicism. Perennial wisdom brilliantly categorised and commented on by the author.

A must read/listen for all aspiring stoics

A wealth of wisdom with every word, I will probably re-read this book. The footnotes were too long winded though and it certainly would have benefited the reader’s experience (unless a study student) by making them more concise.

This practice should be part of the national curriculum. So many mind-expanding theories and perspectives this is a book you can come back to again and again to draw upon and contemplate for a balanced perspective. I've listened to a lot of audiobooks on self-development and coaching and it's pretty much all watered down, rebranded and modernised Stoicism - and that's if it's any good! I'm fully converted and committed - thank you Audible

An incredibly powerful book, bursting with wisdom

Enjoyable & informative narrative in helping to further develop my knowledge of Stoicism. Having read Marcus Aurelius Meditations & Seneca’s Letters, this was a pleasant experience to listen to the content whilst also learning about more contemporary philosophers who practice stoicism. A easy to follow approach but nevertheless, formal with a constant cite to author and passage throughout which sometimes gets a little tiresome.
