Reviews for The Beginner's Guide to Stoicism: Tools for Emotional Resilience and Positivity

""The Beginner's Guide To Stoicism is perfect for the beginner and experienced philosopher alike. Given the brief nature and simple style of this work, it's an enjoyable read and it will enrich your life.""--J.R. Sedivy, Amazon reviewer ""I picked up this book on a whim. I've never contemplated stoicism and it's place (or absence) in my life. . . . I learned a great deal, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It wasn't overwhelming and offered really good and really practical advice that is easy to implement. Filled with quotes, questions, exercises, anecdotes, and more, this little guide can have a big impact on how you view your life!""--Madam Librarian, Amazon reviewer ""I really liked the breakdown of Stoic disciplines and virtues, and I especially enjoyed the Toolkit. I think the Toolkit is a super useful way of pairing the disciplines with Stoic practices to help you respond to all aspects of life. I would prefer this as a physical book to carry in my bag and reference the Toolkit on those days I struggle and need guidance in keeping a Stoic mindset.""--Laura, Amazon reviewer
