Holiday turns the thoughts of the Stoics into a briskly passed self-help manual, which to me, seems at least a somewhat questionable exercise. It reminds me a bit of Joel Osteen, who does a similar (but much more objectionable) thing with the sayings of Jesus.
I can’t say I didn’t find it a “good read.” It contains much food for thought, and is certainly a good into to the Stoics.
