What an absolute waste of my money. 10 pages in and I realised I'm never going to get through the overly 'fluffy' language. Get to the point woman!

I love reading non-fiction, mostly on psychology, procrastination, science, minimalism, social and economic issues, history, feminism, or health. I can also enjoy a good historical drama or fantasy novel. Not reading nearly as much as I would like.

A wonderful historical overview and modern interpretation on how to live a Stoic life. This is going to become a yearly read for me to reinforce my stoic philosophy of life.

Although the book gives some useful tips, I did not care much about the writing style and the self-promotion of the author for his other books or programs. Although it's already a short book, it could easily have been 1/3th of the length and still convey the lessons.

It's a quick an easy read, but if you have minimal self-knowledge this won't give you much enlightenment. Like many self-help books this book could have easily been summarised in 20 pages (already by just deleting all the 'fucks'). My advise: don't give a fuck about this book (except for some nice catchphrases which you can find in the many Instagram posts) and go read some Stoics such as Marcus Aurelius or Epictetus instead.
