Stoicism: How to Use Stoic Philosophy to Find Inner Peace and Happiness
Jason Hemlock · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Fred Filbrich
65/100
👎 Skip It
This is a friendly, plain-English on-ramp to Stoicism if you've never read Marcus Aurelius or Seneca — Hemlock breaks big ideas into digestible chapters with real exercises attached. It stays firmly introductory, though, and overlaps heavily with the author's other Stoicism titles, so it won't offer much if you've already read one of his. Fred Filbrich's narration is pleasant and handles the classical names correctly, which helps beginners along.
