The Daily Stoic

From the team that brought you "The Obstacle Is the Way" and "Ego Is the Enemy" comes a beautiful daily devotional book on stoic meditation – an instant bestseller from the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.

Why have the greatest minds in history – from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, as well as today’s leaders from Super Bowl winners to CEOs and celebrities – embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they recognized that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is meant to lead to a better life, not just an exercise in the classroom.

"The Daily Stoic" offers 366 days of stoic insights and exercises, featuring brand new translations from Emperor Marcus Aurelius, playwright Seneca, and the former slave turned philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known figures like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Each day of the year, you will find one of their succinct, powerful quotes, along with historical anecdotes, thought-provoking commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms.

By following these teachings over the course of a year (and indeed in the years to come), you will discover the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
