    One of the best books I have read
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2017*

One of the best books I have read, changed my life for the best.  Thank you Ryan.  I now buy this book as a birthday present or any other tenuous reason for friends to spread the word

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Everyone should read this book...
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in Canada on 16 July 2017*

Guidance on thriving regardless of what's going on. This book is going to be a must give to anyone I know. I like to buy books and give them out when I believe there's an essential message that can make life better for everyone and anyon. This book is one of them. Easy to read. Not preachy. Practical and well written.This book is like an operating system for a human being in the world. It expresses ideas clearly and guides the individual easily to bettering their experience. The world isn't fair. Life can be overwhelming. Living can be a struggle. This book doesn't sugarcoat reality but it offers tools that help navigate reality. Yes there are other books on stoicism, but this book is so easy to read, never boring, and clarifies the message for practical and immediate application for everyone and anyone. Will it change your experience of life? Maybe. Can you change your experience of life? Absolutely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A 21st Neo-Stoic classic! this one is for keeps
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in Canada on 16 July 2016*

I just finished reading this book. I will be reading it again and again, I can tell. The message is so positive and beautifully realistic. This book isn't based on that false positivism that doesn't help you deal with life's many tsunamis. I have recommended it to my best friends. It really gives you a sense of resilience, courage and moving forward. My only critical comment is that it would be so much more inspiring for women to read more stories of women living courageous lives too. Hopefully, this book will see future new editions and that point can be balanced out better.
