The Daily Stoic

Three hundred and sixty-six entries, one for each day of the year, carry The Daily Stoic through twelve months of practice. Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman pair a passage from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca or Epictetus with a short commentary that puts it to work on something ordinary: an argument, a setback, a decision taken under pressure. The year is organised by theme, moving through perception, action and will, so the entries accumulate rather than sit isolated from one another. Reading takes a few minutes a day, which is the point of the design. Profile Books publishes this edition of a title that has brought a large modern readership to Stoic philosophy. Points worth a look: • One dated entry for every day of the year • Passages drawn from the three principal Stoic writers • Commentary applying each idea to a concrete situation • A thematic arc running from perception through action to will A steady daily companion for readers interested in practical philosophy, resilience and self-discipline, published by Profile Books and stocked at Boipoka.
