This book gives an academic's overview of Stoic philosophy. It is written with an emphasis on practical advice, though there is also quite a bit of historical context added in. The main pieces of advice were negative visualization, internalizing goals, and voluntary discomfort. There were also many other points that weren't as general, but still interesting. The book was very honest and the author's experiences and thoughts were discussed.
