Really fantastic book that did a great job introducing me to stoicism. I really enjoyed how the authors background in cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy provided professional modern scientific backing to many of the techniques employed by stoic thousands of years ago. I liked how they took my through some of the exercises and provided examples of daily rituals I can practice. Following the life of Marcus Aurelius was really interesting and inspiring, it gets me excited to read Meditations personally!
