An understandable primer

To me, a philosophy neophyte, this is a clear, well-stated, and relatively simple explanation of stoicism. Clearly this is a primer, not a deep dive into this philosophy. It raises as many if not more questions than it answers, but it’s a great start.

decent coverage of the stoic philosophy

pretty good narrator considering it was probably not a real person, good wide ranging coverage or stoic philosophy

AI Narration wasn't bad at all.

Despite all the worry and scorn, it wasn't as bad as people have forecasted.

The book itself is a great starting point and introduction to Stoicism.
