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.
