The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living: Featuring new translations of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius Paperback – 27 Oct. 2016

For me, the Daily Stoic is far more than just a book—it's a guide, a mentor, and a daily ritual. I’ve purchased it many times for friends and family. Having completed it over a year when I bought my first copy and I still refer to it frequently now. With 366 meditations drawn from the writings of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and other Stoic thinkers, each page offers a moment of calm, insight, and grounding reflection.What makes this book so powerful is its relevance. These ancient teachings are not out of date - they speak directly to the challenges of modern life: resilience in the face of stress, finding peace amidst chaos, and focusing on what we can control. Each entry is paired with clear, thoughtful commentary that brings the core ideas to life and makes them easy to apply.Whether you're struggling with personal decisions, seeking focus, or simply trying to be a better human, The Daily Stoic delivers timeless wisdom in digestible, daily doses. It's a legacy of the Stoics made personal, practical, and profound.I turn to this book often —it never fails to offer something meaningful. Keep it within reach, revisit often, and pass down to others.A quiet powerhouse of wisdom. Essential reading for anyone on a path of growth, discipline, and reflection.

As someone interested in Stoicism and applying its principles, especially in the face of external challenges, I was looking for a more practical and accessible way to incorporate Stoic wisdom into my daily life. This book is the perfect fit, with daily meditations that make ancient philosophy relevant today.Pros:• Provides a daily quote from a famous Stoic (Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius)• Practical and easy-to-understand interpretations of ancient wisdom• Great for those looking to apply Stoic principles to everyday life• Can be read daily and reread throughout the year for new insights• Ideal for anyone seeking personal growth and mindfulnessCons:• Occasionally feels American-centric in its interpretation

My husband has really enjoyed this book - a good intro to stoicism.We’ve also bought it as a gift which was well received

...and when I say loo read, I don't mean the American singer. This is truly the perfect book to be kept in your bathroom, ready for your daily routine whenever you go. Short chunks of text, not overly profound to elicit much thinking that would keep you sat long beyond the time necessary to fulfil an essential bodily function. If you're on a 'bis in die' routine, you can always re-read the last day's entry. Happy with the purchase. There are way better books on Stoicism, but this one definitely found its niche in our household.

Best book I read about life and how to approach it…should have found it when I was 20!

I read a page of this book daily. Really interesting quotes and very relevant commentary

A great book that’ll be appreciated by anyone who reads Stoic literature.

A book that builds character with inspiring quotes from great people and motivational tough love. Well worth the read, and i will surely read this again and again.
