iza_23's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 60%

I thought this was the laziest book I have ever read. I liked the idea of a piece of stoicism to start everyday with an author’s added wisdom. However, this was not that. He basically just rewords the quotes into a longer and more modern format. Nothing new to add, not inspiring, it almost gives the impression it’s written by ai. This could just be a problem of my own though.

This is a lovely little book. I recommend doing it daily, as it is meant to be thought provoking and think about the daily passages. Holiday does a great job making Stoicism approachable to the average person here. If you can stomach this and get anything of value out of it, I recommend his other works on Stoicism.

I was really looking forward to this book having a massive transformational impact on me, but, that wasn't the case! I think it was too simplistic for me! I wanted more nuanced or actionable insights rather than a bunch which said the same thing in different ways. I also didn't enjoy Holiday's tone at points — again, I just don't think I was the target audience!

Es hat mich 2021 fast jeden Tag begleitet und das wird es auch 2022. Der Aufbau, jeden Tag einen philosophischen Happen der Stoiker zusich nehmen zu können, ist genial. Es hat so vieles, über das man immer wieder nachdenken, neu reflektieren kann, das ich schon sehr auf die Erfahrungen mit mir selbst bei meiner zweiten Reise durch dieses Buch bin.
