This book is an incredibly easy entry point into Stoic philosophy.
Honestly, it’s basically a kind of calendar you glance at each day! 😊
On the back of the book, it says:
Where can you find joy? What is 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 day-to-day guide for living a good life.
It offers inspiring daily doses of timeless wisdom.
Each page contains a powerful quote from figures like Emperor Marcus Aurelius, playwright Seneca, or philosopher Epictetus,
alongside historical anecdotes and thought-provoking commentary.
These insights help you tackle any problem, pursue any goal, and find the calm, self-awareness, and resilience you need to live well.
I started underlining things in the introduction already 😝
Here are some of the key points I highlighted:
• It’s our perception of things that causes most of our problems.
• By controlling our perspective, we gain mental clarity.
• The media creates stories designed to provoke anger.
Thanks to this book, I also started reading Ryan Holiday’s other works.
If you click here >STOIC< you’ll find those books.
Definitely a book I’d recommend to everyone!
I think a lot of people live on autopilot — and this book snaps you out of that,
making you live much more consciously.
At least, that’s what it did for me.
(The writer, Ryan Holiday also has a youtube – here is one of my favorite videos!)
Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think! 🩷 And Yes, this philosophy made me tattoo my hand!
