Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?”
– Epictetus, Stoic philosopher
Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts?
While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were.
This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you and live up to your best self.
A mix of timeless wisdom and empowering advice, The Little Book of Stoicism will point the way to anyone seeking a calm and wise life in a chaotic world.

Worth many times the cost
I’m only half way through this book and I can tell it’s already one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s a book that’s hard to put down and really helps as long as you work on applying it. Great advice and introduction to Stoicism. It’s helping my fiancée and I both.Thank you.

Great Introduction
This was exactly what I was looking for. It was presented in a concise and informative manner and has since then has prompted me to do more in-depth reading.I highly recommend it as a great entry point into this incredibly fascinating philosophy, which can result in real personal changes.

Very Comprehensive easy to follow Great intro into this philosophy
Overall the book gave a solid foundation as to what stoicism is all about. I come from a Word of faith background and this gave me supplemental wisdom and advice. I really enjoyed the self analyzing and pausing before making any responses. One key point that really stuck with me is; We don’t really suffer its only our interpretation of events that make us suffer. Stoicism is a very powerful tool because it takes the expectations we have and view them from rational lenses. There are however things I don’t see eye to eye with like negative visualization and imaging the worst case scenario, bad things can happen but I don’t agree that I should focus or contemplate on those things regularly. I do believe I manifestation whatever you say and focus you will attract good or bad. All in all solid read but some bones that I spit out.

Helping me find my own path during this stressful and difficult time in my life/career.
My career is currently falling apart around me (public middle school science teacher) and I am rebuilding my family after a brutal divorce. The stoic principals are the first set of “guidelines” I have found for living that really resonate. I am not sure about other folks that are in their mid-forties and experiencing the same level of life-stress and turning to self-reflection, therapy and introspective planning, but buying a Mazda Miata and getting hair plugs like my parent’s generation of men just doesn’t feel right. I want to be a better human a good father and a good husband. To do that, I am now learning from the greatest minds in stoicism. This book is a great introduction. Jonas Salzgeber has done a spectacular job of writing a framework for us all to use in this modern moment. Come join in the resurgence of Stoicism and see how much living your life in service to your fellow humans, taking possession of your choices, your emotions and your future!

Great Book
I’ve read a ton of books on Stoicism. I like how accessible this one is, and I’d recommend it as an introduction to Stoicism.

EXCELLENT BOOK
I just finished this book and I have to say, it is an excellent book. I’ve purchased 4 of these books and gave them to my friends and also to my sons. I will begin reading it once again tomorrow. It’s a book that will always be sitting by my nightstand. It is thought provoking and makes you want to be a better person. I found so many principles that can be found in the bible. It makes you desire a higher self and gives you strategies in those times when things are going wrong. It teaches you ways to be patient, loving and kind with people that may not have the same desires as yourself.I feel this book should be read by all people, especially young men and women. This book is truly a value add to all people.

Ehh
83 pages in right now. Really want to love it, but it is so far very repetitive. Started highlighting things that spoke to me, flipped back thus far and it’s a lot of repetition. With a lot of different analogies for the same points. For instance I got the concept after one page and it would go on for 10+ explaining again. Definitions of words were also repetitive. But was kinda helpful because it was words not very familiar. Kinda feels like when I would write a college essay and it needed to be a certain amount of words longer so stretched it out 😬 still enjoyable and important knowledge and I will try to finish it. Reading it in short bursts..

I never write reviews or finish books but this book was digestible and a great read. Good intro to stoicism.
Lime Mojito –
They say messages adapt to the society, and I agree with this reading right here. This is stoicism but adapted for a society on which it’s relatively easy to thrive (compared to harsher eras in the past). It’s good.
Frederico Auad –
This book is an essential read for anyone seeking profound stoic insights to enrich their personal development. The book stands out for its remarkable clarity, making complex stoic principles easily comprehensible for readers of all backgrounds.

Great book. Very easy to read. I like that it is seperate in two parts where the first one was about theory and second about practise and how you can use stoicism daily.As I am learning about stoicism just now, i am glad that this was the first book which i choose to read.

He has covered many aspects of stoicism and has beautifully broken down to the very essence of the philosophy. Although, it’s easier to read than to implement, but having the idea at the back of your mind helps you improve gradually. Philosopher warrior is the ultimate aim.
