A New York Times Noteworthy Pick and a "stellar work" by Publishers Weekly

From the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue.

Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire.

In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes.

More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Whether you're a general or a gardener, a stockbroker or a senator, there is much to learn from Ryan Holiday’s excellent Lives of the Stoics."
--Senator Ben Sasse

"There is philosophy for school and philosophy for life. This book is about the lives of men and women who lived their words and shows you how to do the same."
--Thomas Tull, founder of Legendary Entertainment

"The Stoics were more than just thinkers. They were athletes and generals and emperors and husbands and daughters and parents. This is a wonderful book that shows you the lives behind the philosophers whose words have shaped the world."
--Chris Bosh, 2x NBA Champion

“In story after page-turning story, Lives of the Stoics brings ancient philosophers to life. And that is exactly what they would have wanted, because Stoicism is not a thought experiment but rather a guide for living. Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman show us how the masters succeeded — and sometimes failed — at turning theory into practice."
--David Epstein, New York Times bestselling author of Range

“In a time of pandemic and economic turmoil, we are all asked to be stoic. Lives of the Stoics is a great place to begin. It entertainingly, and yet thoughtfully, introduces us to the philosophers – and mere human beings – who shaped ideas that guide us over 2,000 years later. A great read, particularly for a tough time.”
--Gen. Stanley McChrystal, author of Team of Teams

“Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman have achieved something remarkable with Lives of the Stoics. It's a gift to the many of us today who are searching for inspiration and sense a deep connection with the thought of Zeno, Cato, Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. At last the story we needed has been told! Indispensable to anyone who genuinely wants to learn about Stoic philosophy."
--Donald Robertson, author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor

“Holiday and Hanselman (coauthors of The Daily Stoic) explain in this stellar work the implications of Stoic dedications to truth, wisdom, resilience, and character...This illuminating collection of biographies makes great use of Stoic wisdom to demonstrate the tradition’s values for any reader interested in ancient philosophy.”
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“An introductory guide to the luminaries of Greco-Roman ethical philosophy….Thoughtfully complicates Stoicism. Rather than emphasizing Spock-like, unemotional rigor (as pop culture often does), the authors reveal how the philosophy often debated its identity.…At a time when public nobility is hard to come by, this is a good reminder of the power of ethical leadership.”
--Kirkus Reviews

If i had to give one criticism is that people would walk by and think the narrator was a robot cause of the unwavering sound of his voice or by the speed at which it was read.

I personally enjoyed it and stayed engaged to the end, i will probably return to listen again as i felt i learned a few things but i couldnt possibly absorb it all on one outing.

Meditations

I liked the format of an "unbroken chain" of Stoics from the founder, Zeno, to the philosopher-king Marcus Aurelius. The text was easily approachable, and not to confusing to keep track off the different lineages of Stoics. While the book content was good, the performance was absolutely horrid. It was surprising because it was read by the author himself, Ryan Holiday, and typically when the author self narrates their book, the performance is great. This was not the case with this book. The narration was a constant run on sentence without any break during periods, commas, and no emphasis was respected when there was clear italicised content. Words, names, and sometimes entire sentences were skipped or omitted in the narration that was present in the text. Very disappointed in the narration, it felt rushed, which is sad considering the quality of the text and what could have been.

Easy entry into the history of Stoics

I thoroughly enjoyed this blend of history and Stoic learning. It was so interesting to learn how interwoven all the lives of the ancient Stoic philosophers were and to learn about the lesser known Stoics who also made big contributions to the philosophy.

Great blend of history and Stoic learning.

Great book! I learned a lot. BUT can the speaker be replaced??? I seriously struggled. It was the tone, the speed without breath. I just don’t get how someone felt it was good? Definitely a book better left read than listened to. If you can push past that then you will take a lot away which can point you in new direction of research.

Great for those who follow stoicism/philosophy

You can tell Ryan is passionate about the subject. There is no fluff or filler here, absolutely every sentence and paragraph is full of amazing information. A must multiple read book.

Overall, this has been a fantastic addition to my library. Well researched and engagingly told. My only small quibble is that the co-author as narrator periodically mispronounces words or delivers a line flatly. But that’s a small price to pay in exchange for the energy he delivers in performing the book himself.

Highly engaging and informative.

I enjoy it a lot but he read it like he’s just trying to plow threw it, as if he’s trying to read it as fast as he can.

Slow down or better yet get voice actor

The man reading this book is not skilled. He seriously lacks fluidity, hitting each word as if they were steep steps. Is this book available with a different voice? Can Audible refund the credit? I won't listen to 9 hours of this.

I dislike the audio reader

Like listening to a child read a book out loud that they have never read before. Punctuation means nothing to Ryan, he reads as if the book is just one long sentence. No inflection, no variance of tone or pace. I'm going to pick this book up, cause I can't get through it with Ryan reading it.
