'In this thought-provoking book, Massimo Pigliucci shares his journey of discovering the power of Stoic practices in a philosophical dialogue with one of Stoicism's greatest teachers.' RYAN HOLIDAY, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY AND THE DAILY STOIC

Who am I?

What am I doing?

How ought I to live my life?

Stoicism teaches us to acknowledge our emotions, reflect on what causes them and redirect them for our own good. Whenever we worry about how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal seems more elusive.

Massimo Pigliucci explores this remarkable philosophy and how its wisdom can be applied to our everyday lives in the quest for meaning. He shows how stoicism teaches us the importance of a person's character, integrity and compassion.

Whoever we are, we can take something away from stoicism and, in How to be a Stoic, with its practical tips and exercises, meditations and mindfulness, he also explains how relevant it is to every part of our modern lives.

Pigliucci makes a good case for Stoicism and living stoically
A good case for the enduring relevance of 2,000-year-old precepts
In this thought-provoking book, Massimo Pigliucci shares his journey of discovering the power of Stoic practices in a philosophical dialogue with one of Stoicism's greatest teachers.
Excellent (Oliver Burkeman)
As its title suggests, How to Be a Stoic is a how-to book, but one of a very high order. Yes, Massimo Pigliucci gives his readers advice on how to live a happy and meaningful life. He is careful, though, to put a secure foundation under that advice by explaining who the ancient Stoics were and how they arrived at the conclusions they did. Do you want to avoid wasting the one life you have to live? Read this book!
How to Be a Stoic proves many things: that the ancient school of Stoicism is superbly relevant to our times; that profound wisdom can be delivered in lively, breezy prose; and that Massimo Pigliucci is uniquely gifted at translating philosophy into terms helpful for alleviating and elevating the lives of many
This is a lucid, engaging, and persuasive book about what it means to pursue Stoic ideals in the here and now. Massimo Pigliucci's imaginary conversations with Epictetus carry the reader effortlessly along while grounding the discussion firmly in the ancient Stoic tradition-and in his own life experience. The result is a compelling picture of a Stoic way of life that is consistent with contemporary science and philosophy, and is both eminently ethical and down-to-earth practical. It will be inviting to Stoics and non-Stoics alike who are willing to reason together seriously about how (and why) to be a modern Stoic.
If you want to learn the ways of Stoicism, and you're living in the 21st century, this should be one of the first books you read. Massimo has written a fine primer for the aspiring Marcus Aurelius.
Pigliucci’s book does an excellent job writing about each stage of wrestling with a philosophical system, starting with what I’d call the ‘life hack’ stage and progressing through the interrogation stage, the reconciling-of-internal-contradictions (especially between the earlier Greek Stoics and the later Roman Stoics) stage and, finally, into the actual adoption of Stoic exercises, of which he offers a large menu.

I liked the author's attempts to write about philosophy in a more scientific way. He is clearly convinced that stoic philosophy is the way to go but points out it's not the only way. Overall, it's a nice introduction with some deeper discussion on some, but not all topics; one wonders if the publisher had a hand in pruning the text against the author's wishes here.

These discussions I found, were important because they help to show what some of the difficulties someone studying stoicism will need to face and it is refreshing to find an author who is happy talk around a subject rather than the usual introductory shallowness so many books, or complex language that make many academic texts impenetrable

a very useful introduction to a worthwhile subject

It was too personalised for my liking. I don’t really care that much about the author’s personal trials and tribulations which weren’t that interesting. The historical and philosophical insights were more for me and did pique my interest enough to want to read further.

So so

Very hard to listen to. Might has well have been a robot. Made it very difficult to get through.

Really disliked the delivery

Not a bad book on Stoicism but not exactly what I was looking for. Reading is a little dull. Would recommend as an introduction but would have preferred more source text with context and more on the different flavour’s.

Good book on Stoicism
