Review of 'Art of Living' on 'Goodreads'

After Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, Epictetus completed the puzzle of Stoicism. He appeared more simple, brief and Stoic to me than the former two. Some of his points are pretty radical and shocking to the nowadays man, but still it gives you complete Stoicism at its best. I also found some similarities with Socrates's teachings as well as Buddhist doctrines. As for this edition, it includes all the sayings in a numbered list, which is pretty convenient for the reader to organize his reading.

Review of "Summary of Henepola Gunaratana's Mindfulness in Plain English" on 'Goodreads'

A nice selection of words and Buddhist teachings inside this book. The book is clearly designed for beginners in meditation and mindfulness, with a touch of deeper teachings.
