Publisher's Summary

From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a beautiful daily devotional of Stoic meditations.

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 a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from Emperor Marcus Aurelius, playwright Seneca, and 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.

Great bits of stoicism

You can listen to these whenever you have a few minutes each day. I also like to listen while going to sleep.

Should choose modern narrators

I really want to like this book and purchase extra credits to get it as I’m a big fan of how Holiday modernizes the stoics, however, the narrator makes the content sound stale. It feels like a reading of the King James Bible.

Outstanding resource

My only complaint, after downloading “The Daily Dad” by the same author, is that the Audible version has chapter numbers rather than dates. Date titles would make finding my place and reviewing easier.
