I truly enjoy putting these new practices taught in the book into real-life situations. Just the other day I was more conscious of a situation when before I would have just over-reacted without thinking. I am truly grateful I came across this listen and am recommending it to all my family and friends. Everyone can use it, especially in our fast-paced society!

I’ve read a handful of Stoicism books, and this one did a great job of being both introductory and reflective. I liked that this wasn’t just another self-help spin on Stoicism. It actually respected the philosophy while still making it digestible. The chapter on reacting versus responding really hit home for me. It’s short, but gives enough to reflect on and apply right away.
