Stoicism: A Very Short Introduction by Brad Inwood
3.0
I enjoyed this book very much. It was a very interesting topic to look into.
I always thought that Stoicism was philosophy that encouraged people to be aloof and indifferent. A little reward for reading this book is that my opinions have change for an ancient philosophy. Stoicism is this unique philosophy which encourages the practitioners to practice some daily exercise to control their desires and emotions in order to prevent unnecessary sufferings and blunders. I am definitely going to go full nerd in this one pretty soon with another book (maybe, one explaining the practices in more details as this one mainly covered the beliefs and history)
Reading Experience: 1 hour and 35 minutes
