This is a good book. It’s small, both in size and length, but its purpose is clear and fulfilled perfectly.

Of course, it’s a book on Stoicism, and it is the best introduction to it before tackling the primary sources of Epictetus, Seneca, Aurelius, and secondary modern analyses (neither of which I have yet read, so take this with a grain of salt).

Or, if you would rather, read this book and be satisfied with the range and depth it provides.

The book is an engaging and accessible introduction to central themes that particular Stoics contemplated. It briefs on history and the practical advice that everybody is so crazy for.

I won’t read it again, but only because I would rather read directly from the sources or other books from Sellars.
