Review
"The title does not do justice to this excellent guide toStoicism as the information inside the book is abundant. The author hasexplained the principles of Stoicism in such a way that anyone canunderstand. I took so much from this guide, but especially theprinciples outlined in the Stoic Happiness Triangle... This book would make a great addition to any school library."-- Lesley Jones for Readers' Favorite
