Interesting, BTW, how those reclaiming Stoicism have shaped it to conform to capitalist ideology. As the reviewer Athitakis notes, "cafeteria Stoicism has become diluted into the language of go-get-’em motivational speech...Tuitert’s workbook is more about the mind-set for high achievement — go for the gold! — and wouldn’t be out of place in a Tony Robbins seminar. Moreover, modern Stoicism drifts toward hypermasculine patter that at times devolves into macho preening...Holiday celebrates the tech billionaire Peter Thiel’s lawsuits against Gawker as evidence of the same fear-conquering agency that drove Nightingale and — let’s see here — Napoleon."
