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.
Customer Reviews
Great book -distracting voiceovers
The book and content is great. However, in the audiobook, the quotes are read in a suposedely, old-timey voice. It’s very distracting to the point where I have stopped trying to understand and just tune out for these sections.
Especially, when you are play at speeds over 1x, the voice over becomes comical. I have decided to ignore these sections and just refer to the book which I also own.
Confusing and short changed
There are no titles to the days. I wanted this so I can have a moment to listen before going into work. Also, apparently there is a part 1? My purchase starts at part 2 track 98 and only goes to 188. I got shorted roughly 260? I will be looking to refund and just enjoy the hard copy
Good listen
Listening to this got me through a tough period in my life & has helped me put a lot of things into perspective.
