davidgilani's review against another edition

If you read this book like it's intended... i.e. one page a day - taking in one bit of stoic philosophy at a time - then you might enjoy it more than I did.
I tended to read 15 - 20 days (i.e. pages) at a time and a lot of the time I came away thinking that it was quite repetitive and simplistic. Perhaps that's more of a critique of stoicism in general?
There were still plenty of 'nugs' within the book though and presented in a nicely accessible format (i.e. original stoic quotation, followed by modern-day equivalence and explanation).

A wonderful book of daily meditations steeped in the stoic tradition that are split into three different sections, based on months throughout the year. It was a marvelous year long read. And one that I plan to do repeatedly.

Daily read. Each morning I review the previous days' page and then write a 1 sentence summary. And then read the page for that day. Repeat. Currently on Jan 31st. Read daily until Dec 31st.
