So good!
This is probably the second Stoicism book I've read. Many self-help books make you feel good at the moment when you read them, but I can really relate the messages inside the book to what's going on in my own life. I understand there will be a gap between intellectually understanding wisdom and applying knowledge. Nonetheless, I feel empowered and hopeful that this time I can put the philosophy into practice. Thanks to the author for writing this book.

Totally shifting my mindset
I listened to this while driving and found myself nodding like every 5 minutes. It’s not hype-y or preachy. It actually made me slow down and think. The chapters on embracing discomfort and digital presence hit hard (especially with how burned out I’ve been lately). It’s the kind of audiobook that doesn’t just throw advice at you but instead it helps you see yourself differently. Definitely bookmarking “inner fortitude” to relisten when I need to pull it together. Real talk, this helped.

Solid Life Wisdom
What I liked most about this audiobook is how down-to-earth it felt! It takes those classic Stoic ideas and makes them actually usable in today’s world like when you’re stressed at work or just overwhelmed in general. It doesn’t preach, it just gives you tools to deal with life in a calmer, more grounded way. Definitely one of those listens you’ll want to come back to when life gets noisy.

Exactly What I Didn’t Know I Needed
I’ve dabbled in the whole “stoic mindset” thing before, but this one actually clicked. It didn’t feel preachy or outdated, more like someone just talking real with you about how to not lose your mind in today’s chaos. I caught myself applying a few of the ideas during a super stressful week and, no joke, it helped. It's not magic or anything, but it made me rethink how I react to stuff. Definitely worth the listen.

Everyday Stoic
This audiobook helped me see how Stoic ideas can be used in real life, not just in theory. I appreciated the focus on managing reactions instead of wasting energy on what you can’t control. One part I found really helpful was practicing discipline as a way to create more freedom, not just more rules. It’s straightforward and gave me simple things to work on every day.
