Publisher's summary

“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?” (Epictetus, Stoic philosopher)

Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts?

While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were.

This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you and live up to your best self.

A mix of timeless wisdom and empowering advice, The Little Book of Stoicism will point the way to anyone seeking a calm and wise life in a chaotic world.

A new vision

This book was recommended to me by my mentor. I’m glad I took the time to read and listen to it. This is the beginning of a be journey I will embark on… The journey of stoicism. Many parts of the book were like a mirror… I certainly haven’t been practicing Arête. There are many of the principles I need to be mindful of and place in to practice everyday from now on, especially now that I am a parent. One of the rare books that have changed my life and given me a new vision for the rest of my life… I appreciate this book so much.

Succict dissection of Stoic practices

This book is exactly what I was looking for. Quotes of wisdom from the founders of Stoicism entwined with practical tools and examples for incorporating into my life.

The narrator had an odd style of reading

I liked the latter part of the book with the 55 practices. The theory section of the book was somewhat confusing. I read this book as suggested by a mentoring program that I am currently working through. I will read this book again and suggest it to others.

Good material, a little dorky delivery

The narration is decent until they go to read any quote from an ancient philosopher. All of the quotes are done in a really strange accent that comes off as just silly. it was so hard to take those sections seriously. It stinks because I would love to share this with others, but I can't bring myself to tell them about the audio book, just the hard copy.

This book kicks butt!!

I’ve read and listened to many books on Stoicism. Many by the most popular author on Stoicism. All of them are filled with great info. Stoicism is great at helping you through the tough times but also a model for how to live a good and honorable life.
I love that this book breaks Stoicism down into lots of bit sized lessons. Very helpful info.
Get this book if you really want to understand Stoicism. My opinion is that it’s “top notch” and one of if not the best books on Stoicism.
