A Must-Have for Anyone Seeking Timeless Wisdom!

This audiobook is a brilliant compilation of Stoic philosophy, bringing together the timeless works of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus. The teachings are as relevant today as they were centuries ago, offering practical guidance on how to remain calm, focused, and resilient in the face of life’s challenges. The narration is engaging and clear, making the content easy to absorb, even for those new to Stoicism. I particularly appreciated the added workbook exercises, which helped me apply these philosophies to my own life. Highly recommend for anyone looking for inspiration and personal growth!

A Must-Listen for Stoicism Fans!

Super long :). It explains the philosophy clearly and gives practical advice on staying calm and happy. The narration makes it easy to follow, even with the ancient texts. Perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about life’s challenges and how to face them.

Bad audio!

It is read by a robot. It is awful! Books are great, but audio is terrible.

An insightful resource for stoicism

An insightful resource for stoicism. There is lots of sound ageless advice for living a better life. The fact that it is 52 hours long means it offers a lot and allows you to listen whenever you have time. However, I can understand some listeners may find this too long. Regardless, it's a great book.

Highly recommended!

This collection brings together some of the most influential Stoic works in one convenient volume. Each text is accessible yet deeply thought-provoking, making it perfect for both newcomers and seasoned philosophy enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking for daily inspiration or a deeper understanding of Stoic thought, this book is a fantastic resource.

Mostly an excellent compilation

I've listened through the Meditations and all the Letters to Lucilius, and so far I find this a great compilation. The narrator has a good voice and performance that match well with the material.

However, I do have slight reservations, though not enough to truly subtract from the experience. First, every so often the narrator mispronounces a word or two. It is fairly infrequent, but it can take one out of the flow of the narration. Second, there's occasionally awkward editing, as if the first bit of sound from a discarded take was accidentally included.

Overall, I've really enjoyed this, and between the breadth of material covered and added features like the chapter questions for Meditations, I think this is a great little library of Stoic wisdom.

A Life-Changing Treasure Trove of Stoic Wisdom

The book dives deep into the heart of Stoic philosophy with The Enchiridion and Discourses by Epictetus, as well as lesser-known but equally profound works like Of Anger and Of Peace of Mind by Seneca. You get the full spectrum of Stoic thought in one package, and that alone makes this audiobook an incredible value.

The narration is top-notch—thoughtful, clear, and well-paced. It's easy to lose yourself in these ancient texts, especially since the narrator strikes the perfect balance between scholarly respect and engaging storytelling. Stoicism can sometimes come off as dense or overly academic, but this audiobook makes it approachable and, most importantly, relevant to modern life.

Actively encourages personal growth

This audiobook is a transformative journey through the core teachings of Stoicism, making ancient wisdom accessible and deeply relevant for the modern listener. The engaging narration and thoughtful adaptations of works from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus bring these timeless philosophies to life, making them both practical and inspiring. Whether you're new to Stoicism or a seasoned practitioner, this comprehensive collection offers a wealth of insights that will help you develop emotional resilience, inner peace, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Loaded with Wisdom

The Definitive Stoicism Collection is loaded with timeless wisdom and information for those on a personal growth and self-empowerment journey. This is a long listen, but it is valuable and motivating when broken into chunks. It's interesting how human nature and our struggles don't change over time, and neither do healthy ways of dealing with the problems that arise from them. A powerful listen for information on how to live life.

Great Intro to Stoicism

If you’ve been curious about Stoicism, this collection is a good one. It includes key texts on stoic thought (Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Letters from a Stoic by Seneca, and The Enchiridion by Epictetus + more). Each one has a ton of practical advice on how to handle challenges and live with more calm and focus. I loved how the different perspectives come together to give a full picture of Stoic thought. This collection is a solid pick whether you’re new to Stoicism or want to go deeper.
