The Daily Stoic

The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman is a year-long guide to living a more meaningful, calm, and resilient life, inspired by the wisdom of Stoic philosophy. The book offers 366 daily meditations, each with a short passage from ancient Stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, followed by a practical reflection on how to apply that idea to modern life.

Whether you're looking to improve your mental strength, stay focused in a world full of distractions, or simply find more peace in your daily routine, The Daily Stoic provides a simple yet powerful framework for living with intention.
