Very easy to read this book and growth mind. There are no abstraction here. Very pragmatics. For those who want to know/understand Stoic. I'm highly recommended.
- ttcbj 8y agoI agree, I got a lot of value from this book.
- jacobolus 8y agoI disliked this book. Just go to the original classical sources, instead of this watered down derivative. Reading this one felt to me like having a sequence of funny jokes explained pedantically, without ever getting to hear the original jokes.
- eswat 8y agoI can see why many would dislike this book vs. the sources, but it definitely makes the overall idea more palatable. Reading the Meditations isn't for everyone.
- martin-adams 8y agoAs a newcomer to it, I found this book extremely helpful and instantly impactful to my daily life. That said, I find that you need to keep up the practice continually as its impact has a half life and fades over time.
