Stoicism in a nutshell; pleasure to read
Simple, logical encapsulation of Stoic principles. Not a collection of direct writings but a survey of the principles postulated by Roman Stoic philosophers. Fideler links Stoic concepts to their modern psychological equivalents which are instantly recognizable. A lot of overlap between Buddhism, Taoism, and Stoicism - how to perceive reality objectively, maintaining a certain level of detachment, differentiating between status and worth. Good bedtime reading; a few pages a night to settle down from the perplexities of the day.
