What am I doing?
How ought I to live my life?
Stoicism teaches us to acknowledge our emotions, reflect on what causes them and redirect them for our own good. Whenever we worry about how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal seems more elusive.
Massimo Pigliucci explores this remarkable philosophy and how its wisdom can be applied to our everyday lives in the quest for meaning. He shows how stoicism teaches us the importance of a person's character, integrity and compassion.
Whoever we are, we can take something away from stoicism and, in How to be a Stoic, with its practical tips and exercises, meditations and mindfulness, he also explains how relevant it is to every part of our modern lives.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great! I wish Massimo spoke for the whole book
Overall a fantastic thorough rabbit hole of stoicism, I do wish Massimo spoke the whole book though, the speaker seemed very robotic

Highlights many useful principles to live by.
With narcissist personality traits flourishing through the use of social media I found this book highlights many antidotes that enable us to live a more meaningful life.

It's not that simple...
Just not my bag, and the narrator sounded like a robot. Tough to listen to.

Kinda obvious....
There's nothing groundbreaking here. Anyone who has spent a small time with basic Buddhism will find this kinda familiar and obvious.

Not what I expected
It involves fake conversations and I couldn’t get past that! On to the next one.
