Stoicism is a vast topic and covered by numerous people from different walks of life, ranging from ancient studies from Zeno of Citium and Marcus Aurielius, to modern day adaptations. In this book, I have kept it simple as there are differing opinions on Stoic teachings. On one hand seeing Stoics as arrogant and ambitious and on the other hand offerings positive benefits.

He used journaling as a basis for many of his writings, and perhaps you can use journaling as a basis for how to live a more Stoic life. There is room to write your journal in the Stoicism Simply Explained 2024 workbook and journal available soon to accompany this book.

Falls apart

The historical beginning and defining explanations are intriguing. The book falls apart when listing female stoics with no descriptions or character evaluation. The biased and political choices for modern stoics are banal. It becomes simplistic and underdeveloped with examples of modern stoics.
Not a satisfying read.
