Great leaning experience!

Exceptional! For my first foray into this subject matter it was presented in a clear and concise manner.

it’s great for people starting out in stocism ,like me 😊

the book helps exlain terms and people used in the stoic writings. if you are getting into stocism it’s great.

A good outline on mindfulness

As I am in my early stages of learning stoicism, this was a great listen. I appreciate Van Natta's thoroughness to providing a full picture of stoic ideals in an engaging and understandable format. I also find that Rimpici's dictation for the audio provided easy listening as he imparts Van Natta's works with an easy energy.

dry and does little to grip the listener. Still a great book

i enjoy the concepts and practice of the topic at hand but find the narration of the book dry and forgettable. 80% thru the book the narrator exclaimed "festival!" and I was so caught off guard it was a glaring reminder I struggled to pay attention thru most of the book.

Inspirational and very practical

This is probably the best book you can read if you want to start on stoicism, it really gives you the right tools to live an stoic life, the rest is up to you.
