Loved it

I read this almost every day in 2019. If I missed a day or two, I always caught back up. I just doing that was a huge win for me, and the subject matter was a eye opening, mind expanding bonus.

I absolutely loved being introduced to the Stoic thoughts this way, I turkey believe I am a better person, a better thinker and a better doer than last year.

Most quotes are precious, most commentaries dispensable.

My goal was to read this each day, for the given day's entry. Well, it didn't happen that way. I ended up hitting it in spurts, 30 - 90 days' worth of entries at a time. To their credit, Holiday and Hanselman successfully made each day self-contained in its wisdom and stoic thought.

A way of thinking

I liked this book and appreciated its consistent themes. As someone who hasn’t studied stoicism outside of this book it feels like there were parts that were a stretch, but ultimately I’m glad I read it.

felt like it was repeating the same things and the descriptions of the quotes were unclear and plain.

Insufferable self-help reinterpretation of stoic writings. I felt sick after two chapters, I think the original philosophers are rolling in their graves.

If you love the affirmative tone of self-help books this is a must read...
