Unfu*k Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life by Gary John Bishop
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alternate title: “Stoic Philosophy for People Who Don’t Like Reading Old Texts.“
There’s not a ton of new material (naturally, given that stoicism has been around for over two thousand years) but the messages are presented in a new way for a modern audience. In that sense, the book accomplishes what it sets out to accomplish.
Conundrum: Why is it that the assertion “I am unwilling” is turning out to be more effective for me than “I am willing?” I feel like that’s significant, though I have no idea why.
