The problem is that he's trying very hard to put forth the notion that classical greek Stoicism is "happiness" when what the Stoics were really going for was closer to "contentment" or "satisfaction." I suspect he does this because the Jordan Peterson Army has co-opted Stoicism but it doesn't change the fact that he's basically using a lot of "I thinks" and "I feels" and unreferenced mad-libs examples to plagiarize Meditations in pithy self-help column format.
