A review by antzoudi
The Little Book of Stoicism: Timeless Wisdom to Gain Resilience, Confidence, and Calmness by Jonas Salzgeber, Nils Salzgeber
3.0
A collection of simple rules on how to live.
There are many parts I have highlighted, but here's what will stay with me:
Suffering and inner disturbance only come from resisting what is, from fighting with reality.
You cannot get upset by anything outside your control. Only your judgment can harm you.
Play your role well by being the best you can be, focusing on what you control and ultimately being a good person.
My only criticism: the author can come off a bit obnoxious at points, especially when advising on overcoming loss or dealing with difficult people. In some ways, certain parts of this book would benefit from a bit more sensitivity.
