Description

The beloved classic daily devotional of Stoic meditations–the
only authorized print edition in the US and complete with a ribbon
marker–with more than two million copies sold 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 and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a
classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights
and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus
Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus,
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, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and
a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over
the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you’ll find the
serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well
