I became interested in Stoicism a few years ago. Following this philosophy leads to a much more peaceful and accepting way to live. Some books on Stoicism are rather hard to understand. This book is easy to understand and has a good flow to it. Some of the principles of Stoicism are not easy to follow, but they are worth working at - such as accepting whatever happens to you (rather than getting so upset about so many things that we cannot control). This book is worth reading!

I enjoyed this book. Stoicism is similar to buddhism in my opinion. Buddhism is more of a religion and Stocism is more of a guidebook. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in self-improvement
