The Little Book of Stoicism

Anton

If you’d like to get started with stoicism, this is the book. 

It is written in plain, modern English and gives brief summaries and great quotes from 4 most influential stoics. Now that I read this book, I feel like I can re-read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and actually understand what is he talking about.

The Little Book of Stoicism is a Stoic book for the modern men and women. Jonas Salzgeber analyzes the most famous teachings of Stoic gurus and presents us with 55 practical implementations of these timeless principles.

Most of what’s shared in the book already exists in other Stoic books but the author nicely uncovers the well-known old-school maxims and allows us to understand, and implement them in our daily lives.

The book is good for both beginners in this philosophy and also for folks who consider themselves master Stoic philosophers.

My main takeaway: Dominating our emotions and being capable of controlling them even when we’re challenged is essential for our well-being.
