Be honest. Have you ever had that feeling of emptiness that is created when you feel powerless after failing again and again in achieving the goals that you set? If you have ever felt like this at least once in your life...I know exactly how you feel, you are not the only one who has thought about this. Believe me, I tell you that I spent the nights wondering what I was doing wrong, if my life was doomed to failure and if only a few people had the "luck" to get incredible results both in terms of money and in terms of relationships with others. Then, one day I knew what I had to do.

I start my day by immediately listening to this audiobook. This audiobook is excellent; it provides a focus that I find personally spiritually calming that carries throughout the day. This audiobook is straight and to the point, the author's analysis is simple and direct providing an introspection from the original Stoic works that complement them well. I reflect on the passage once again right before I sleep at night. I have since recommended this to friends.
