From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller.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.

"A fantastic introduction into stoicism and how the study of philosophy is relevant to one’s daily life. Ryan Holiday combines quotes and teachings from ancient stoic philosophers with his analyses explaining what they mean and why they have stood the test of time. "

"A really unique read on Stoicism and the practice of living a good life. It’s written in a way that each day (366 as they include 1 for leap year) has a quote from an older Stoic or philosopher along with a passage from the author on how this is relevant today. This would be an excellent book for anyone just getting into the journey of knowing yourself or for people interested in Stoicism."
