Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Stoic Mindset
Mark Tuitert · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Mark Tuitert (author-narrated)
74/100
👍 Worth It
An Olympic gold medalist walks you through ten Stoic principles grounded in real elite-sport experience, keeping abstract philosophy concrete and actionable. The runtime is short (under three hours) and the depth stays introductory, so seasoned philosophy readers may want more, but newcomers get a clean, credible on-ramp. Author narration works here — Tuitert's voice lends the athletic anecdotes the authenticity they need, making this one where the listen genuinely adds something.

▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: excellent Tuitert narrates his own work with clear, personable delivery. The athletic anecdotes feel lived-in rather than performed, and authenticity is the main thing author narration can add — it lands here.
