About this listen
We live in a fast-paced world that has come to characterize the 21st century. We are bombarded with constant distractions, and silence has all but vanished from our daily schedule and practice. We are collectively exhausted, but we don’t really realize it. The exhaustion manifests in sicknesses we can’t identify, and if we can, it’s something we can’t pronounce. We batter ourselves against the daily onslaught that has become our lives.
We all need a break, and we all need answers on how to stop this fast-moving wreck in motion. The answer it turns out has been in front of us all along and within us even longer. The Stoics figured it out two and a half millennia ago and practiced it with great results. Maybe it can help us now too.
Stoicism has two aspects - the theory and the academics of it, and wanting to read or listen to the texts that fall into that category is a good thing, but this is not that. This book is about how one practices Stoicism in their daily life here and now. It is for this century, this decade.
Is the solution here? No. The solution is within each of us. What you will find here, though, is the way to extract the solution that is already within you. It’s as simple as that.
So what are you waiting for? Scroll up and click the "buy now" to find the solution you've been searching for!

It has literally change
Sorry if this sounds crazy or like a convert but I don't like this book.
It has literally change my outlook on life and how I approach things daily. I’m a religious man and minimally spiritual, but I reference this everyday and treat it like a bible.

It is great
For a person that likes to take action into better reasoning for making decisions in every aspect of life, this is a great book. It not only introduces you into the Stoic philosophy, but better yet invites you to use the thinking of some of the best thinkers of all time. Interesting how, in different words, the Stoics converge precisely with the best Buddhist minds.

Essential Daily listening
Occasionally I had to listen multiple days to catch up, but this book has been helpful through the year as I try to be more practical and less angsty in life. Get you one of these. It’s underpriced, really.

Thought provoking
I am enjoying this book quite a bit more than I expected to. Each day after my morning meditation I like to sit and listen the day’s passage. If you are looking for some deep lengthy meditation this is not for you. If you are looking for bite sized thought provoking passages to help you see things a little differently... this is great. I look forward to each section, and I can see myself following this for another year. This book has also inspired me to seek out more writings of The philosopher’s quoted. I recommend it.

Love the interpretations offered
Love the interpretations offered, much easier than trying to digest Meditations or some of the other work by the Stoics.

Great collection
Great collection of daily listening's that you will want to listen in bunches. Old advice from the Stoics that is as relevant today as it was centuries ago.
