👍Worth reading🔮Hidden Depths💡Learnt A Lot🎯Worthwhile🚀UnputdownableI would start with the book of Massimo Pigliucci (actualy, I did) before reading this book. His books is easier to read and it explains the basic principles of Stoicism very well too.
But William Irvine's work is more comprehensive, no doubt, and I like it.
The only annoying thing is repeating the same thoughts several times, as is customary in American books. But we are Stoics, guys, these are just details :) - Nick Bugaiovshared an impression9 years ago

Quotes
- Semahas quoted3 years ago
In particular, he will be careful to set internal rather than external goals. Thus, his goal in playing tennis will not be to win a match (something external, over which he has only partial control) but to play to the best of his ability in the match (something internal, over which he has complete control). - Mariahas quoted2 days ago
meditate on the events of daily living, how we responded to these events, and how, in accordance with Stoic principles, we should have responded to them. - Mariahas quoted2 days agovoluntary discomfort can be thought of as a kind of vaccine: By exposing ourselves to a small amount of a weakened virus now, we create in ourselves an immunity that will protect us from a debilitating illness in the future.
