Chill Out with the Stoics was so enjoyable. I feel like each little essay is becoming my new favorite. Damn this book for making it difficult for future me to review fully.

Each essay/story has been so much fun to read/listen. I truly love how Emily Wilson writes.

"People often prefer words, images, and big emotions over sober economic truth, even when the ostensibly frail joins of rhetoric results in the loss of substantial benefits, like wealth and freedom."
