@kingrat thanks lots for doing that!

@talzag It's great. I took me a long time to get through it, as the lingo was quite the speed bump at first. But he so well articulates his perspective with depth and context. It's really an education. My shelves have a lot of books that I didn't have when I began this book, and that's thanks to him. It's just the beginning of a great adventure. I hope you enjoy it!

To me, this book is so crucial to understanding the media, politics and culture. You have to climb the mountain of Stuart’s vocabulary if, like me, your own is of a more pedestrian variety. But his perspective on how things ‘are’ and how we got here, even when some of these essays are several decades old, is so insightful. I’m very glad that I read this. Thanks for the education.

Finally starting this book a year after I bought it!

A great introduction to the teachings of the Stoics, covering many aspects of day to day life. Most definitely encourages me to read their individual works, which I’ll do.

A terrific book, great advice on every page. Written in a very accessible style and easy to digest. I hope to have it within arms reach forever.
