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.
