Pros; some of the CBT-reminiscent exercises.

I will not be reviewing this publicly.
I wish this book the best journey, yet, the tone was deaf, the writing not for me, the lessons, too vague, repetitive, derivative and the teachings of Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca, no matter how much I value them, were thrown everywhere without much deliberation.
To me, it all came off as a bunch of “change your perspective, be strong, if not, you are doing it all wrong” message which is common phenomenon in some help books.
Though, I have read immensely well-written, nuanced, philosophical and practical books on similar topics recently, and I could not find value in this book.
I hope the book meets its audience and the readers can benefit from it as well as enjoying it. We were simply not the right matches.

Loved the messages and concepts in this book. It felt like the author could really connect with everyday life and give advice on how to change our outlook and the power we have over our mindsets and emotions.

Although helpful and concise, this book felt clunky and all over the place. I prefer to read the original works and apply them as I see fit, not be told how they should fit into my life, based on circumstances that may or may have nothing to do with how I live my life. (I run a business, so losing a job doesn't apply to me, for example.) Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book and offer my opinion.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to either change or improve their daily lives and wants to do so, a day at a time. It'd be a bonus if they are also into Stoicism or are curious about Stoic principles.
The book is divided into four parts: where are we headed?, what are we up against?, how to design a life that flows well, and how to handle everyday problems.
The chapter I was most curious and intrigued about was on focus and the author shares four ways to seize the day- the practical exercise at the end of this section focusing on not just making a to-do list but more on simply taking the time to list all the things that need to be done and then focusing on getting those done.
I loved this tip and would try it out.
I'd say that this book is formatted in the most simple, direct and easy to use way that does not bombard you with the things you can do to change.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

This was a wonderful book. Finally, an author who knows what living is really like and how we can change the issues we are dealt with.

As someone who experiences anxiety, I'm always searching for ways to manage it. My husband talks about the stoics a lot and when I saw this title, I knew I needed to read the book. I learned so much and enjoyed the information and how it was presented. I didn't feel overwhelmed when reading Chuck's research. I appreciated how it was structured. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
