The Stoic Challenge

A very narrow exploration into 1-2 stoic techniques backed by psychology and every day life examples.

By all means not the ultimate book on stoicism, but it came to me as a much needed refresher and enthusiasm bump for re-reading some classic Seneca.

Read this if you struggle with anger, fear of death or setbacks.

First book read on stoicism. I'd give it 3.5 rating.

The first third was great. Short, concise, gives you some historical facts and a gentle into on what's it all about.

It then becomes slower, a bit bloated, not providing much new information. Sometimes it was going off-topic for a good few pages.

It was still an overall short, easy to read book. Ideas are presented in a digestible manner. I'm sure there are better books than this one on the topic, but I'd also imagine there are way more that are worse.

Worth quick reading in a few days.
