The Daily Stoic
by Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman
Why have history’s greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Along with today’s top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities, embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless. That philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise.The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises. It features all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus. All of this, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you’ll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations. The book also contains historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms.
By following these teachings over the course of a year you’ll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
