Resumen del Editor

This practical guide leads you through all the major pillar thoughts of the main stoic philosophers, revealing the eternal principles of the stoic way of living in a new fresh and easy to understand style.

This book is a tool of empowerment. You are going to learn the secrets that led to the growth and establishment of influential philosophers, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus, who are known to have led admirable lives

By the end of it, you are going to be exposed to a new way of living that can help you change your life. You are going to be equipped wit the principles that guided them in this same world you are living in. You are no longer going to be a puppet, being swayed from side to side, trying to please anyone and everyone while frustrating the most important person, you.

Even as the world changes, the relevance of these principles never changes. One thousand years from now, they are still going to make sense. Study them, practice, and adopt them as your own. By doing this, you are going to live a fulfilled life, satisfied and content.

Super disappointed in audible

An elementary child could have done a better job presenting a short presentation on this topic. I can’t get my money back yet audible has advertised for years you can just return. After being an audible member for over 13 years this is one of possibly two books I wanted to return and to be told no shows Audible lack of appreciation to those who have continually supported them

Less is more

The part summarizing the books are ok, they are clearly understandable, however I think that they are useful for those already familiar with stoicism. The rest is a bunch of ideas thrown together superficially, giving instructions for all aspects of life. Even though most of them are valid, it is still annoying to hear instructions one after another, like you have to sleep 7-8 hours, otherwise you get sick, etc.
One idea I fully disagree which was several times mentioned, is that work is something which you have to do just to make a living.
Overall, this was a waste of time.

BTW: The quality of the sound recording is annoying.
