THE LITTLE BOOK OF STOICISM

There was so much info packed into this quick read. Theory, practice & guidance. Perfect for a noob Stoic like myself. The best section for me was the 'hands-on' section, titled "Preparing Practices". This is where you learn the steps, ideas and practices used to achieve to your transformation. These are basically short exercises or lines of thought that will help to begin to lead you along your way

Maybe this book isn't the best introduction to the topic, but it is great read for those who have been reading other stoic sources because it pulls all of the disparate topics together into a cohesive summary. One that i found very valuable

This book highlighted all of that for me, refreshing and introducing concepts and practices I could incorporate or reincorporate into my thinking and daily habits. This guide presents everything you need to begin a Stoic life of your own, including an array of techniques to help you master this in your daily life.

I came upon this book after having spent some time studying stoicism. Stoicism is a deep topic with many facets and this book does a good job of summarizing the most important aspects of stoicism. Is it the most in depth look at stoic thought? No, but that is not the intention of the book

I am glad I read this book and I read through it very quickly because it was so interesting. The author also has a link in the back of book so you can download a checklist of the practices and an excellent infographic about 15 musts rules for stoicism. Long ago I read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and after reading The Little Book of Stoicism, I am going to read Meditations again

Excellent, informative, and useful read into "how to live a good life". I've long been interested in Stoic philosophy, and this book goes in depth into the ideas, how and why they're useful, and how to apply them. The practices are great - this is one of those books worth re-reading every couple years to remind ourselves how to think and live a good life.

The concept and practice of Stoicism is new to me and this book lays it out in a way that is understandable and useful. A variation on the title might be "The Practical Book of Stoicism". The part I found most helpful are the exercises that help you practice the philosophy to improve your life. Rather than reading thousands of pages across many books on the topic to then figure out how to practice it, I recommend learning it by doing it through the use of these exercises. Great book--highly recommended!

I really liked reading The Little Book of Stoicism for its simplicity and its genuine attempt to demystify this philosophy and present it in a contemporary setting... The language and writing style are simple and pleasing and I am sure will be relatable to most young people of today's age... Overall, for anyone interested in philosophy or simply looking for ways for self-improvement, this book will surely be very helpful

People seeking peace in a chaotic world could benefit a lot in heeding the philosophy of an equally complex ancient time. Author Jonas Salzgeber curates some excellent thoughts and expands upon them with clear prose and uncomplicated concepts and examples, which should make The Little Book of Stoicism an easy and approachable read for all

The title does not do justice to this excellent guide to Stoicism as the information inside the book is abundant. The author has explained the principles of Stoicism in such a way that anyone can understand. I took so much from this guide, but especially the principles outlined in the Stoic Happiness Triangle... This book would make a great addition to any school library."
