Publisher's Summary

If you are sick of struggling with a heightened sensitivity toward conflict, a lack of confidence, and a constant sense of stress and chaos in your life, then Stoicism is exactly what you need. 

Stoicism is an ancient practice used by the great Greek philosophers as a way to master their mind and their emotions. This topic was discussed in great length by many Stoic philosophers as they pondered the nature of and power behind the human mind and its ability to reason. Through all of this philosophy, they uncovered many truths about the mind and emotions that would go on to serve people for many years in terms of navigating everyday situations, as well as larger hardships with which they may be faced. 

The Stoics, or the original people who practiced Stoicism, lived during the era of the gladiators, and they taught and practiced this ancient philosophy as a way of mastering themselves amid a fight for their lives. This wisdom is timeless, and it provides an abundance of knowledge and support for those who wish to improve their happiness, live a meaningful life, experience resilience and confidence, and embrace calmness. 

Despite how ancient this practice is, it continues to offer excellent guidance for people in our modern world. Surprisingly, this early school of thought closely resembled our modern concept of emotional intelligence and provided us with many great teachings that can deepen your mental and emotional strengths.

listen to this Stoicism book I have realized some things I haven’t ever thought before and at the same time gave me a better understanding of who I am. This book is pretty informative too.

Good text but tricky to listen to

I found the content very interesting but the intonation meant it was difficult to listen to as an audiobook.

Amazing audio book

I did really enjoyed the book. The best summary , with clear focus, on what stoicism is. The best book to “ grap” the philosofy as a way of living...what is more Important was that it show stoicism as something anyone can embrace if it according to his values or if it is willing to have a better life

Very well audio book

I have been interested in Stoicism for a few years. I have even applied some of the philosophy to guide my life. However, learning and applying the concepts seemed very tedious.

Excellent audio book

Most of the book is quoted from the great Stoic minds but I am unsure of what I expected. Even the "practices" are cut from the cloth but hinted with a personal flavor. Might quick listen in a few weeks just to recap some ideas.

I like it audio book

I've read a number of books on Stoicism, including Dorothy Mok The Obstacle Is The Way and I recommend this little book wholeheartedly. I've been reading it every day and find it to be one of the best "self-improvement" books

Wow audio book

Beautifully organized. Stoicism is so simple and natural, yet so profound. This is an easy to read, short book. It lays out a blueprint for living your best life. It neither denies the existence of God, nor discourages the practice of religion. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was uplifted and educated by it.

A great audio book

This is an excellent book for those wanting to learn more about Stoicism. It's a great synthesis of some of the great Stoics' writings with easy to understand explanations. I found it very easy to read incredibly thought inducing. There are practical examples of how to apply Stoicism in everyday life which I found invaluable.

This audio book is a good

As someone with little background in Greek philosophy generally, but interested in the similarities of Stoicism with the Buddhist lojong (mind training) tradition, I found this book very useful

Got lots of information on stoicism!
