[AUDIOBOOK] If you are feeling stuck on how to move forward, especially during a national crisis, then read/listen to this book! Some ideas are repetitive, but the book as a whole is engaging and you can definitely learn a lot!

The book is not as bad as many people say it is. I listened to the audiobook. Ryan Holiday obviously knows the meditations of Marcus Aurelius very well, that being this is less a commentary on stoicism rather than a rebranding of stoicism.
The book has some nice historical references but it is blindly American. Much of what is in the book could be a business seminar which I think showcase the genius marketing behind this book.
Otherwise there’s a very genuine advice that comes from the author. I like his intentions that got into making this book. It is also opening the door of philosophy to the masses which is great. I mean nobody will be worse of than they started by reading this book.
I listened to the audiobook when they came out with Spotify premium. I would not recommend this book to a friend.
All of this being said the book has a very interesting theme being stoicism. There’s better work on ethics or the history of philosophy to read.

Maybe I got into it with too much background of the author.
Knowing and linking much of the Tim Ferris stuff I had read the blog post of "How to do a bestseller" which this applies without shame. That in itself would be no bad thing. The bad thing for me starts when there is no depth in this book. It is like having heard a good quote and repeating it over and over and over again.
I like the author and I like stoism. But there is so much more than "It is not important what life throws at you, you still can make it"
