- jacobolus 9y agoI was very disappointed in this book after hearing so many positive recommendations. It seemed like a lazy repackaging of famous stoic writings, dumbed down to appeal to a mass pop-science type audience, plus some projection the author’s personal opinions and ideas onto other writers, in a way that felt kind of forced and sloppy. Just go to the primary sources.
