Noticing a few new sellers on Amazon who are selling some classics at really low prices. Found a really good deal for a hardcover copy of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck for INR 169. Ordered promptly. I will let you guys know if these ever get delivered.

Haha.. That is awesome. I once found a book for 20 bucks (a mistake) which I ordered. They cancelled after a day. Kicker was that the book was still available for 20 days 2 days later.

Unless you really want to read it, I'd suggest skipping this book. It's just neo-stoicism wrapped in internet-bro language. You would be better off reading the classic stoics. 1) Meditations - Marcus Aurelius (Gregory Hays translation) 2) The Enchiridion - Epictetus Have also heard good things about these two books 1) How to think like a roman emperor - Donald Robertson 2) The Obstacle is the way - Ryan Holiday

@loud-glass-33663 - I had bought a book worth 2k for 200 long ago on Amazon. The seller obviously cancelled the order, but not very long ago, Flipkart had a similar glitch where the boxed set of Game of Thrones was available for just INR 70. There were some lucky ones who received the order and a few who received multiple orders. The good thing about these 2 books that I ordered is that the price is not a small fraction of the usual price. So hoping it would be honored. Let's see.
@faint-energy-11966 - I have read this book before and liked it then. I have also attempted reading 2 of the 4 books you have mentioned but couldn't follow along. I think the internet-bro language is exactly what worked for me personally.

On a similar note @hundreds-winter-88791 @faint-energy-11966 Tim Ferris has put up 3 PDFs on the Tao of Seneca I have read a few and while not the easiest to follow, they are short and if you read them a couple of times (1 letter a day), they are excellent. More useful if you have a Kindle or can get these printed.
