- How Stoicism can help with traumas and chronic conditions
- The difference between Stoicism and other philosophies from ancient Greece
- Stoic quotes and thoughts
- The confusion around Stoicism, and Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The producer's performance was undoubtedly wonderful, and so was the author's book. I did not stop listening till completion. That's just how much I loved it. I was glad to hear the appropriate articulation of all the words by a competent audio book narrator. I was able to understand every thing plainly, not just because the storyteller spoke the phrases very well, but also because the information in it included new things to be learned.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The 5 stars need to be 6 stars. Yes, that's it. You heard me well. I think it's so great that it ought to have 6 stars. I have absolutely no criticisms about this particular audio book. The book explains a number of points of view extremely well. It also dives much deeper in to the material. My favorite parts of the book were definitely the final chapters, where the final thought became crystal clear.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was seriously awed by this book. I tuned in to this audiobook, and it was absolutely inspiring. I acknowledged a great deal of the things the author was speaking about. Some things discussed my head, but that's regular for any book that has actually been composed by a genius.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you ask me, there is perhaps absolutely nothing greater on the market about this specific subject. I am giving this specific manual 5 stars since I honestly loved it. Despite of the author's knowledge about the issue, the narrator was still the aspect I was most amazed with. This is what truly sold me on the author's book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If I would need to summarize it, it would be simply in one term: Awesome! I have absolutely no criticisms about this book. It might have had a couple of mistakes, but they did not subtract anything from the amazing information that this audiobook contains. You can discover a whole lot. I definitely know that I did.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A unfortunately thin meandering review of a deep philosophy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Whoa! Buy this audiobook! I am not kidding! It's incredible! In my eyes, it was quite perfect. There might perhaps have been a few hardly detectable mistakes in there, but they didn't bother me. Whenever you can listen to a storyteller who is this good, and about a subject that you're interested in, you do not care about the rest. That's the end of the that. Let me think for a minute ... how should I explain this? It was professional, straightforward, and understandable. With that being said, yes, I do highly endorse this. No question about it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5At times the author was attacking Stoicism which for me was perplexing.
