About this listen
The great insights of the Stoics are spread over a wide range of ancient sources. This book brings them all together for the first time. It systematically presents what the various Stoic philosophers said on every important topic, accompanied by an eloquent commentary that is clear and concise. The result is a set of philosophy lessons for everyone - the most valuable wisdom of ages past made available for our times, and for all time.

Well read, expressed and certainly usable! The teachings inspire and if listened too each morning -perhaps going to work - helps develop the listener. 20 mins each morning for me! Am making it part of my ritual.

Great assessment of stoic philosophy.
I’d highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a better understanding of stoic teachings and their historical context. Narration was excellent though a little dry but all up a great read for anyone with a basic knowledge on the topic wishing to expand their understanding.

Very interesting!
I found this book very fascinating as it made me realise how many of the ideas purported in modern psychology were being talked about in ancient times via stoic philosophy. Stoicism also has a lot in common with Buddhism.

Life changing
Amazing book. I listened to the audiobook first and bought a physical copy but I always find myself coming back to the audiobook. This is one you'll listen to hundreds of times over your life. Great insights and provides a fresh perspective on life.

Great philosophical book, fair and just
Great philosophical teaching, it helps to make one rethinks self awareness and the world and people around oneself. Great narrative, doesn’t feel boring after hours and hours listening.
