Excellent

Great info and well balanced. I really liked this. I am almost at my 15 word minimum.

Terrible narrator !

Interesting but the narration was terrible. Authors did a great job with background information as well are good general information.

YES, This is worth the read !

This audible was really put together nicely, but the best part was the Narrator Graham Rowat - he really made this a pleasure to get through, he was like listening to a professor that is really into his work. Recommended !

Nice encapsulation of stoicism. Bad narration.

Stoicism For Dummies is yet another good introduction and overview of the popular philosophy.

The biggest problem is the narration. It’s subpar. There are so many excellent narrators working today, it’s puzzling to me why so many of the books I enjoy have bad narration. Who chooses these narrators and why?

The audio quality of this production is also substandard. It’s tiresome to listen to despite my keen interest in the subject.
