This was an interesting read. It may have had "Stoic" in the name to help marketing and selling it. I'd probably call it "Lessons from an American Philosopher" but you get my point.

Essentially modern takes on 12 of Emerson's thoughts on getting to personal awakening. It mentions the Stoics and Stocism several times, as apparently Emerson read them.

Each lesson is followed by a well written brief summarizing the lesson.

At the end, there are a dozen of spiritual / meditation lessons with 2 or 3 exercises each, probably best for one on the path to awakening per Emerson.

This is a good opening for learning about Ralph Waldo Emerson. If you are expecting Stoicism, this probably isn't it.
