3.0 out of 5 stars Feel Good Stoicism, August 21, 2006
I was disappointed with this book in that the Stoa of Seneca, Epictetus and Aurelius are really given a superficial treatment. This is followed with brief, "feel good" concepts intermixed with variations of original quotes. Naturally it has a value and place in this world, those seeking a light reading of Stoicism should be pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Philosopher At Large Does It Again..., November 12, 2005
By R. M Woods (Montgomery, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tom Morris does what few brilliant, academic, first-rate philosophers are capable of doing--he makes philosophy accessible. Dr. Morris has that rare gift of bringing the deepest and best to the level of everyman and readers can be thankful that he is not stingy with this gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stoics for the rest of us, September 15, 2005
By Richard Mojica (El Paso, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Even those of us who are novices when it comes to stoic philosophy can enjoy this book. I am not sure where some reviewers get the opinion that religion is the central theme, but I found the lessons taught by the stoics to be drawn more from life experience than anything else. In any case, I found the book to be both informative and timely.

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm not impressed.
If you really want to know about Stoicism, skip this book. Go to the original stuff by Epictetus (Loeb Classical Library) or Marcus Aurelius (The Emperor's Handbook) instead.

Really, Tom. Leave your religion out of it. Religion doesn't mix well with sophisticated philosophy.
