Reviews
โAs befits a good Stoic, Farnsworthโs expository prose exhibits both clarity and an unflappable calmโฆThroughout The Practicing Stoic, Farnsworth beautifully integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and others. As a result, this isnโt just a book to readโitโs a book to return to, a book that will provide perspective and consolation at times of heartbreak or calamity.โ
