Don't care if you're woke Ryan, it's a good book.

The message of justice is one we all need and maybe Ryan thinks it's only the left who can do the right thing right now, but funny enough, the right can do right to and there is much learning for is here. Thanks Ryan, we can do this. ;-)

Narrated beautifully.

I was looking for just this kind of book about James Cook. It is well researched, very detailed where it matters and overall a great telling of the last voyage by Captain Cook.
Happy I found this book.

21 century chat vs ancient cultures

Revisado: 06-21-24

The way the characters talk to each other has a very modern 2024 five to it while the story is clearly in ancient times and there seems incongruous.
And why does the goddess sound like a male if she is after all the goddess?

Deliciously old fashioned Bond

Revisado: 06-30-23

Hi Robert enjoyed reading or listening to this book. While it is almost impossible, not to think of the movie characters, we have known in the James Bond movies, I found eventually that the original James Bond came through, and was just as enjoyable as Roger Moore, and any other actors. An entertaining book, though not quite Jane Austen. 😉

So much to learn, and all useful!

Ryan is fastidious in his writing and as with previous books, has managed to tell, teach and inspire us to incorporate many stoic ideas, values and virtues.
While we know we will never be stoic sages, we can arm ourselves with powerful stoic practices which make us better... all changes everyday, big results in a lifetime.

Can not fault it

Third time listening. Really enjoined Ric Jerom's narration and obviously he was well supported by his director. Patrick O'Brian's canon of Aubrey and Maturin is truly epic.

Clear, understandable and enlightening.

My need for arguments against political correctness, CRT and woke craziness finds a great resource here. While a lot of it is based on things happening mainly in the USA, it clearly is being copied in other western countries and so makes this work broadly applicable to anyone wondering if this is the end of the line for the West. Spoiler alert: it is not.
Douglas has a pleasant voice , the production of this audio book benefits from it.
If you think or even worry about the ideological contest in the world now, this book comes highly recommended.

Dipping my toes into the classics, this has been a great listen. The narrator did an excellent job with his character voices, and the production put into this audio book is very good.
The character development by the author is so thorough and detailed, you really feel you know them well and understand their moral battles , their views on life.
A capital book.

Love you Ryan, but get a new narrator

Revisado: 10-22-21

Ryan Holiday's books are amazing and this is no exception. Do not be put of by my 3 stars for Performance, I think Ryan should not narrate himself and there surely is better talent out there.
This book gives you so much; info, history, mythology and literature about courage, being brave as one would expect. The shortness of the chapters lend themselves to using the book as a journal, to meditate on.
If you have read Ryan before, you'l encounter his favorite characters again, which only makes you understand them better.
Highly recommended for people who would speak truth to power against real injustices of the world.
