Recensioner

This is my first book from Holiday and boy do I feel like I've missed the boat somewhere along the way. I've already picked up one of his older ones and anticipate getting the other in this series too.

This book is packed with so much wisdom. Holiday really breaks down useful practices for mind, body, and soul to help us all achieve the stillness we should in order to be our best selves. But it's not just Holiday spouting out what to do, it's real world examples from well-known historical figures as well as wisdom from countless spiritual and political leaders. My only criticism is just a note for me to remember to keep a highlighter next to the bed so I don't ruin the book by earmarking so many pages for reference/re-reading. **sigh**… (mer)

In tried and true Holiday fashion, this book is chock full of wisdom, anecdotes, history, and other valuable nuggets. It's not my favorite book of his, but certainly a great addition to the collection and I look forward to the rest of this "Stoic Virtues" series!

First and foremost, like Holiday's other books, this is well written and is chock full of good examples from historical figures and well-known people. I didn't resonate very well with the message simply because I'm not a real "go-getter" like this is more targeted towards. There were still a lot of valuable lessons and I ear-marked several pages to go back and re-read, but overall just not for me.

I'm a fairly recent addition to the school of Stoicism and have found Holiday's books a great avenue to learning. This is a great read for anybody looking to learn bits of Stoic philosophy and some history along the way.
