I have read many books on stoicism, including many recent studies of modern scholars on stoic principles. Therefore when I started this book I thought it would be another book ruminating the same things I already knew. I was wrong. This book is more than a modern approach to Stoicism. It is a self help book with deep insights and faithful to the Stoic tenets. A must read for every student of Stoic philosophy.

This book lays out the basic tenants of the most practical of all philosophies, that of the Stoics. The author Marcus Epictetus, was a Roman slave who learned to be master of his own life by controlling his mind and actions. Things are really only as bad as you think they are. It is our negative opinions and the attempt to control things outside of our control that lead to misery. The Buddha understood this and spoke of it in his concept of dukkha, which is the misery that comes with over attachment.
I first encountered the idea that our opinions are at the root of our unhappiness some years ago,in the writings of Dr. Albert Ellis, one of the founders of cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It was immensely helpful for me and did much more for my mental state, than the Freudian psychotherapy I paid $200/ hr. for.
If you really want to make changes for the better in your personal life, I highly recommend this book, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and any other Stoic writers you can read. It will give you a pragmatic way of dealing with life that works.

I agree with another reviewer that you can learn as much if not more just by reading a Wikipedia article on Stoicism. This book was also not edited well; some negations and prepositions are missing, making for awkward re-reads. It also contains one major contradiction that I was not able to reconcile. Perhaps I am confused. In chapter 5.1, he writes: 'Stoicism is living a life in opposition to "Amor Fati," in love with fate.'
Then in chapter 5.6, he writes: 'The Stoic tenet, Amor Fati - "a love of fate" - isn't just coping with your fate, it is openly welcoming it.'
I truly cannot tell if he is advocating the embrace of Amor Fati or living, as he says, in opposition to it.
I believe the author is sincere and truly embraces Stoicism as a total life-system. But it repeated itself over and over; esp. the main proclomation: understand what you cannot control. Therefore, I could not control myself and had to leave this review as feedback. But I still gave it 3 ***.

reading this from a Christian worldview was incredibly interesting.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and other influential voices among stoicism. I also enjoyed diving into the precepts and philosophy of stoicism.

Now reading this from a Christian perspective, most of the things that speak about the universe, I replaced with God. That being said, there were some things that I of course did not agree with, however, most of the principles I agreed with, and you can even bring many of them back to the teachings of the bible.
I am going to be reading some more books on stoicism in the future, because I believe there is so much wisdom to gain in this practice.

After this read, I definitely feel more anchored, and more equipped to let go of the things that I cannot control. Would recommend to pretty much anyone.

though there are some grammatical errors, we have to understand the message of it. Like by looking at the bigger picture. The author uses a technique of repeatedly saying the same thing throughout the book, to the untrained mind you’d think he would be doing it just to make his book seem like there’s a whole of other stuff, but this technique helps the reader engrave the idea the author is trying to communicate into their mind. It seems annoying but it’s very strategic. Kudos!

Perfect!

I really enjoyed this book. It raises the awareness of the things I have done wrong but thankfully, the things I have done right. It also puts out ideas that. May not completely agree with, but it raises issues for what would be a fun debate that respects the other side’s point of view.

A great companion

I’ve been practicing Stoicism for two decades or so. From time to time a refreshing read on ancient philosophy is required. This book hit home. It’s a straightforward approach for those already familiar with the stoic principles but also a great first read for those starting their journey.

Easy read covering all the essentials

I enjoyed the simplicity of this book. Not too much focus on the origins but moreover focusing on the applications of Stoic practices to modern day scenarios. Looking forward to reading the books that follow.

[Abigail Crider · Rating 1 out of 5]

Disappointing… spent a lot of time on the people & history of Stoicism rather than modern day application as mentioned in the description. Areas that did focus on application were fluffy and repetitive.

[Richard Flagg · Rating 5 out of 5]

An very concise and precise look at Stoicism for everyone.

I really found this book to present a clear and concise look at the ancient philosophy of Stoicism and how it can still be applied in modern life.

Becoming a stoic is hard work. Beautiful book

[Kathryn Martin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just look Stoicism up on Wikipedia rather than waste your time on this nonsense.
