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.

Pada pendapat saya, buku ini ada penulisan sikap baik, terima perkara yang dapat anda buat, sedar bahawa hasil sesuatu dikendalikan oleh seseorang atau sesuatu yang lebih besar daripada diri anda, dan akhirnya praktikkan apa yang anda khabarkan dengan menghayati hikmat dan ajaran yang anda baca. Mendorong untuk menganalisis bagaimana perasaan saya, apa yang berlaku dan salah, dan bagaimana menjadikan hari itu lebih baik dan tidak membuat kesalahan yang sama lagi. Secara keseluruhan, saya sangat menikmatinya. Terbaik.

Good

This was a really good collection of quotes from Stoic philosophers such as Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus and daily meditations from the authors Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. I enjoyed learning from the wisdom of these philosophers who lived around 2,000 years ago and it amazes me that their words stand the test of time. Big takeaways from the book: Be good, accept the things you can control, realize that the outcome of things is controlled by someone or something bigger than yourself, and finally practice what you preach by living out the wisdom and teachings that you read.
