The Little Book of Stoicism: Timeless Wisdom to Gain Resilience, Confidence, and Calmness

Written by Jonas Salzgeber

Narrated by David Angelo

“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?” – Epictetus, Stoic philosopher

Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts?

While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were.

This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you and live up to your best self.

A mix of timeless wisdom and empowering advice, The Little Book of Stoicism will point the way to anyone seeking a calm and wise life in a chaotic world.

Reviews for The Little Book of Stoicism

[Daniel Wilkerson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Absolutely wonderful. Another good book to help digest and continue to work on understanding and practicing Stoic principles. This will be a re-listen. Perhaps several times over.

Excellent book, horrifically narrated. The narrator seemed to be channeling his inner Robin Williams with his tragically comedic quotes.

[Terry N · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A solid introduction to Stoicism. Personally, I found the narrator's voice a little flat, but I'm sure there'll be fans. Lots of good wisdom here. I agreed with a lot of the author's ideas, but not everything resonated.

I'm a fan of stoicism. It's a brilliant philosophy for living a better life. Recommended for everyone!

An excellent history of Stoicism - overview, quotes, anecdotes from the "big shots" and the author's life is included. Basically: be aware, catch yourself, non-judgement, and be kind.
