I've never been able to get into Stoicism, but I still like reading about different philosophies. However, I also know that that is one where a lot of popular works deviate badly from the original.
So, a question: are Ryan Holiday's books solid/accurate? Are they in line with ancient Stoic philosophy? Are they a purely modern interpretation? Are they worth reading for growing my non-expert knowledge (in a positive, not just critiquing, way)?
@aehdeschaine@bookstodon The commercialism of Holiday's various Stoicism-related projects is also a turn-off for me. I have always felt that he doesn't do much write books to teach people about Stoicism as he teaches people a Stoicism to sell books. #stoicsm#books#philosophy#reading#stoicAuthors
