Focus on What Matters

this book came to me in the perfect time. awesome book. Super easy to read.

This is a wonderful read if you’re open to changing your perspective on how you already view life and the challenges that come with it.

It is common to think that being Stoic is being emotionless. This book challenges that misconception by diving deep into how ancient Stoics found solutions to many of life's common problems and timeless emotions. The book is divided into two major sections: the Inner and Outer Worlds. There are multiple subsections on topics like managing emotions and thoughts, knowing yourself better, making decisions, living a fulfilled life, building a better version of yourself, pursuing success, building wealth, managing your career, dealing with people, and dealing with hard times. Each subsection has a bunch of short letters where the author talks about principles and views with his personal stories and examples. The reason I didn't give a 5-star rating is that the author's writing flow is a little disruptive. He jumps topics somewhat suddenly at times, and some stories/examples didn't feel relevant to the principle being talked about, or they were just weak stories or analogies. It's hard to describe, but a sense of wholeness was missing from what was otherwise a very intriguing and thoughtful body of work. The writing style sometimes felt like that of a freelance writer rather than an author. With that out of the way, there's no denying that the content is highly valuable and thoughtfully presented. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of new perspectives I learned from this read. Stoicism is a genuinely practical philosophy that can help anyone find stillness, hope, joy, and purpose in their everyday lives. It is fascinating to see how ahead of their time the ancient Stoics were. The questions they contemplated are still relevant in the modern world, and the solutions are still valid. I will be applying the learnings from this book and philosophy in my life, especially during tough times. If you're going through hard times, this book is a great uplifter and motivator that reminds you to focus on what you control and take the rest as it happens.

Awesome book and helps someone who grew up in a broke household and a father who wasn’t in the picture of my life growing up and this book helped me focus on what’s important for me to have a great fulfilling life!

It's the most real read I've ever had in some time! It has helped me to understand myself better, humbled my ego, and motivated me to be a better version of myself.

Amé leer este libro. De a un capítulo por noche. Gracias Darious! Lo he realmente disfrutado a cada mordisco, a casa página.
