Good, short, accessible.
It is of note that the book is not long: around 3 hours. If you wanted a longer and more in-depth book then this may not be for you, but the books manages to do well what it promises to do: be a basic, beginner-friendly guide to stoicism.
The performance is good and the content of the book is interesting.

Great beginner's guide to Stoicism
This was Just the kind of book I was looking for on stoicism, I love the practical application and examples set forth in the book. My only gripe is that it could have been longer, but luckily the author provides more resources on stoicism to delve into in the end. The narration is excellent. Highly recommended!

A good introduction (or reminder) for Stoics
A good introduction (or reminder) for Stoics.
This book gets straight down to business and I like how it avoids the lengthy personal anecdotes and diversions found in similar offerings.
As someone who has read many modern Stoic books before there was little new here, however it did offer further reflection on salient points and gave me some reminders of where I have often strayed.
I’d recommend to anyone with an interests in Stoicism.

Sound advice
I wasn’t sure about this as an idea, but I realise that was my preconceived notions on what Stoicism would be. I found this enlightening, fascinating, a good easy listen, and a great start to a, hopefully, better life for me, and those around me. Thank you.

First book on Stoicism I've listened to
As the title states, this is the first book about Stoicism I've listened to, so admittedly I don't have much to compare it with. However, it explained in detail the history, ideas and application of the philosophy. The ideas are many, so I will need to listen to those chapters again, and the book recommends further reading, which I found very useful!

Great introduction to Stoicism
I had read other work on Stoicism.. and nothing can be too simple or introductory, so for me I still took in a lot from this nice introduction. I plan to re-listen.. A nice accessible introduction
