Publisher Description
From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a beautiful daily devotional of Stoic meditations.
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 a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from Emperor Marcus Aurelius, playwright Seneca, and 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.

Why isn’t this read by ryan? It would be so much better if it was.
A must have audio book.
This audio book was a result of my friend has the book. So I took the options to get the Audio version. Get when driving and easy to access from my Apple devices. The audio book is really great to help one well-being and mind. I would recommend this for this who don’t like reading but want to excel themselves as a person. Why the 3/5 the audio book fails to have any meta data and it’s just in a numerical order than a book which you can see which chapter and page. They cut corners within putting any meta data.
Great book. Wrong narrator.
I love this book but I agree that it would have been so much better if read by Ryan. The narrator here has an amazing, theatrical voice but I feel it needs the authenticity of the author reading.
