This book is a primer on the philosophy of stoicism, resurrected from its origins in Greek and Roman philosophy. The original philosophy was based on a reasoning process which it was assumed would lead to a virtuous life. Zeno, the founder of stoicism, did not begin expounding on its teachings until he was in his forties. He believed that the purpose of life was "to live consistently." Cleanthes, his disciple, added "with nature," so that the purpose of life became "to live consistently with nature." - Summary by Bill Boerst (1 hr 58 min)

good book well read. I had already heard of most of the content, but Stock writes well enough to be worth it anyway, especially his description of the Stoic sage

"To be happy then was to be virtuous, to be virtuous was to be rational, to be rational was to follow Nature, and to follow Nature was to obey God." Absolutely amazing.
This book is truly remarkable

This audio book fueled an awakening of the use of logic and it's importance in understanding our mere existence.

A really good overview of Stoic philosophy. It gets quite technical, but there's a lot to get through! Really well read also, very good narration. Thanks Librivox!
