That was a very interesting read. It's essentially a "self-help" book, using the different schools of ancient Greek philosophy as a guide to how we can lead a better life. It's well established in the practice of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) that we can use our reason to examine our unconscious beliefs and habits, by practice change those beliefs, and thus consciously change undesirable patterns of behaviour. What this book examines is what the different schools of philosophy - Stoics, Epicureans, Cynics, Platonists, Pythagoreans, Aristoteleans, etc - believed was the best way to live, and what the good points of each philosophical tradition are that we could usefully adopt in the modern world.

Highly recommended.
