Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living: Featuring New Translations of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius by Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman (Paperback, 2016)
Caring for the soul in this way makes not only better people, but a stronger society too. If that book introduced readers to the idea that what is in the way is the way, The Daily Stoic widens our view on the Stoic philosophy and shows that it can be applied to any problem.
Where can you find joy? What's the true measure of success? How should we manage anger? Find meaning? Conquer grief? The answers to these questions and more lie at the heart of Stoic philosophy. The Daily Stoic is a compelling, accessible guide to living a good life, offering daily doses of this classic wisdom. Long the secret weapon of history's great figures, from emperors to artists and activists to fighter pilots, the principles of Stoicism have shone brightly through the centuries as a philosophy for doers. Tested in the laboratory of human experience over the last two thousand years, this timeless kwledge is essential to navigating the complexities of modern life. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, and the slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as diamonds like Ze, Cleanthes and Musonius Rufus. On each page, one for every day of the year, you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes and provocative commentary to help you tackle any problem or approach any goal. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-kwledge, and resilience you need to live well.

Very easy to read. Very easy to digest. It's like having a daily devotional, but to stoicism. I found that the way it's set up to be easy to actually think about each days prose. So it stays in your mind to use. Thank you for this wonderful book.
This is a great book, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to live a simple and contented life.
With just one concise philosophical principle to abide by per day, this book helps to identify and focus on what we consider important to us and discard those that are irrelevant
