Lessons in Stoicism

Li rapidamente. É um livro curto que fala dos benefícios e o lado bom da filosofia estoica. Não é um estudo detalhado e talvez por isso a parte mais crítica fique de lado.

Porém, ainda sim o elogio à filosofia estoica é feita de maneira correta, desmontando preconceitos antigos e afastando-a dessa turma que recentemente tem transformado a filosofia num “bro-code”

This little book has only 7 very tiny chapters each dedicated to the aspects directly related to the theory of stoicism, among all the chapters the ones I have found the most useful would be the second chapter (what do you control?) and the third one (the problem with emotions), these were the most pragmatic and practical chapters in my opinion where the author mostly discussed about feeling negative emotions and the aftermath. The other chapters namely ‘adversity' seemed to hold too simplistic theory and ‘Life and death' also wasn't that enlightening. I wouldn't say it is a book for someone who's looking for more scholarly material, it's pretty much practical for the novice who wants to get simple tips on everyday stoicism.
