I don't know about lacking depth, if you know a bit about the Stoics you can see how he made use of philosophy, and it's very different than the way you learned to do philosophy if you took some philosophy classes. You just have to go in knowing a little about the Stoics or it all sounds like something your grandmother might embroider and hang on the bathroom wall. It doesn't stand on its own.
