The Daily Stoic

'No role is so well suited to philosophy as the one you happen to be in right now.' - Marcus Aurelius

The Stoics' unique blend of practicality and wisdom has inspired many for centuries, from Roman Emperors to Barack Obama. Daily Stoic shows that Stoicism can be applied to any problem. From how to accept failure to fulfilling your desires, the ideas of Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and others continue to be vitally relevant today. Here, in bold new translations of the ancient classics, language is stripped down to reveal aphorisms that can be applied to your daily life.

Presented in a page-per-day format, this daily resource of Stoic inspiration combines quotations with calls to further reflection - and action. Arranged topically, this guide features twelve principles for overcoming obstacles and achieving greater satisfaction. It introduces readers to a new daily ritual and new orientation that will bring them balanced action, insight, effectiveness, and serenity.
