THE DAILY STOIC
Sampling the teaching of the great Stoic thinkers, Holiday shares the ancient wisdom of the philosophy embraced by some of history's greatest achievers, from emperors to activists and artists to sportsmen. Presenting stoicism in a digestible form, Holiday shows how anyone can improve their life, self-knowledge and resilience through finding their inner Stoic.
Where can you find joy? What's the true measure of success? How should we manage anger? Find meaning? Conquer grief? The answers to these questions and more lie at the heart of Stoic philosophy.
The Daily Stoic is a compelling, accessible guide to living a good life, offering daily doses of this classic wisdom. Long the secret weapon of history's great figures, from emperors to artists and activists to fighter pilots, the principles of Stoicism have shone brightly through the centuries as a philosophy for doers. Tested in the laboratory of human experience over the last two thousand years, this timeless knowledge is essential to navigating the complexities of modern life.
The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, and the slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as diamonds like Zeno, Cleanthes and Musonius Rufus. On each page, one for every day of the year, you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes and provocative commentary to help you tackle any problem or approach any goal. 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.
