Book Review: Not Nearly Enough to Justify the Price
Summary: 1 Stars
This isn't really a book - it's a series of very short essays on Stoicism. It's far too disjointed to provide a solid introduction to Stoicism, and contains little of interest to those who already know something of Stoic philosophy. If you're interested in an actual book on Stoicism, try William Irvine's A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy. Not only is it a far better practical guide to Stoicism, it's about half the price and available as a Kindle book.
