Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Great book
Reviewed: 12-29-22
I really enjoyed listening to this book and will likely listen to it again. The person who reads the book sounds great. This book is great for those who are already at least somewhat aware of stoicism (I suggest this same author’s book on the topic that came before this one), and provides a great guide on how to implement stoic practices into every day modern life. The content is delivered in an accessible manner. I believe this book will help me on my stoic journey.
