Excellent audiobook

This is an excellent audiobook on the basics of Stoic philosophy, with an emphasis on Stoic practices and exercises. It could be listen straight through (this is what I did), but it could easily be used a reference because the structure of the audiobook is so strictly outlined and divided into sections according to the outline. The content was clear and concise, and a listeners with little or no previous philosophical knowledge should be able to understand it. This audiobook was really indispensable for a new Stoic like me.

Clear and concise

Great information. Clear and concise. Every sentence is a truth in itself. The root of most self-help audiobooks come out of these concepts and it feels a little bit extra "cool" because of the history.

Impressive audible

There are such huge numbers of significant hints, thoughts, and rules. An impressive association of the historical backdrop of Stoicism and fitting strategies that can help we all specifically development. It shares the imperative focuses in a trough and productive way. The audiobook clarifies information, value, and separation. I'm so content with the nature of this audiobook.

Valuable listen

This audiobook goes through a detailed breakdown history of Stoicism, which if you are curious is an ancient greek teaching that values having knowledge and enduring pain and hardships with harmony. This philosophy resembles Taoism, but they both have been derived out of different cultures, so if you know the teaching of Stoisism, then you may be interested in listening this to compare and contrast.

Great and Informative listen

This book will be a great read for anyone who enjoys philosophy and the history of stoicism. This books gives examples on stoicism and how to apply it to your daily life. This is not something I had listen about before so I was not sure what it stoicism was. After listening this book I have found that the stoics have a different way of living in a more ethical way. The book gives lots of examples throughout history showing how they lived their lives and through their philosophies so you are able to apply it to your daily life!

The Stripping method to understand stoicism

The thinking behind this exercise is that every situation has many layers, just like an onion. Each layer represents something that we bring to the situation and not the situation itself. It’s only by considering the core issues without the relatively unimportant layers we add that we can act according to a proper ethical framework. Stop considering your reputation or whatever personal advantage you think you may gain as part of the equation when working out what to do in a given situation.

Provided a simplistic view of Stoicism

This audiobook provided a simplistic view of Stoicism, a little background information into its foundation and its teachers as well as guiding principles which you can add into the commonalities of life from business to school to relationships. Very informative Guide for me.

For happiness Make positive memories

Every region in our brains can be strengthened through practice. If our brains are really good at remembering negative things that happen, it can be useful to strengthen the regions of the brain responsible for remembering positive things.
