'No role is so well suited to philosophy as the one you happen to be in right now.' - Marcus AureliusThe Stoics' unique blend of practicality and wisdom has been inspiring the most successful among us for centuries, from Roman Emperors to Barack Obama, and most recently via Ryan Holiday's bestselling The Obstacle is the Way. 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.From how to manage failure to getting what you want, the ideas of Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and others continue to be vitally relevant to today's doers and thinkers. Here, in bold new translations of the ancient classics, language is stripped down to reveal powerful aphorisms that cut straight to the heart of our day-to-day challenges.Presented in a page-per-day format, this daily resource of Stoic inspiration combines quotations with calls to further reflection - and action. Arranged topically, this guide features twelve principles for overcoming obstacles and achieving greater satisfaction. It introduces readers to a new daily ritual and new orientation that will bring them balanced action, insight, effectiveness, and serenity.Author BiographyRyan Holiday is the bestselling author of Growth Hacker Marketing, The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy. His books have been translated into 17 languages and his writing has appeared everywhere from the Columbia Journalism Review to Fast Company.Stephen Hanselman has worked for over three decades in publishing as a bookseller, publisher and literary agent. He received a Master's degree at Harvard Divinity School, while also studying at Harvard's philosophy department. - The Daily Stoic

If you are interested in the Stoics, this is a good place to start
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025

I recently became interested in the Stoics after listening to some podcasts. I was told that reading some of the writings could be daunting and this book was recommended to me. It is great because it has the original writing as well as an interpretation/meaning of the essay/writing which is great. It definitely helped me understand the writings better and I don't think I would have understood them as well without the interpretation. I great resource to start if you have an interest.

great introduction to the major stoic writers. I get a lot out of this, read it every morning. It's a paragraph by a stoic writer, followed by a couple of paragraphs of explanation or examples. I think it's a great way to learn about stoics and a cool way to start the mornings by reading something a little more profound than whatever cat video or think piece is on my phone.

Stoicism for everyday life
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2017
Verified Purchase
The Daily Stoic does exactly what intends to do, and that is to guide you through life’s daily troubles.

Summary
For those who want to get to the point, this is a good book. If you want to become more resilient against life’s obstacles, you should buy this book.

• Who should read this book: This is a book for someone who wants to become more “thick-skinned” in life, but also do the right thing. If you want to become someone who never flinches towards adversity, this is the book for you.

• Format: Well designed. Each page corresponds to a date on the calendar, so each day comes with a new meditation. You never need to read more than one page a day

• Content: Each page starts with a relevant topic for any stoic. A related quote soon follows. Much of the page is dedicated to the authors explanation of the quote in everyday terms.

• Impact: While the book won’t internalize it for you, it will tell you what you need to do to persevere through life’s challenges.

Detailed Review

Who should read this book
This book is useful to everyone, because everyone faces challenges in life. This book is meant to help you through these challenges. While it won’t solve your problems for you, it will give you guidance, but also the fortitude to face them. You can be someone can’t seem to get a break, or you can have your entire life under control. Either way, this book will toughen you up to become a master of your own life.

Format
This book isn’t made to be read in one sitting. Consider it more of a calendar in book form. The authors named it well since it truly is meant to be read daily. It might be daunting to read something every day, but it’s not. You will be able to read it in less than five minutes, but will give you something to think about for the rest of the day.

Content
I’ll use the page of February 8th as an example. A title like “Did that make you feel better?” follows a calendar date on each page, in this case, February 8th. A related quote soon follows from a famous stoic, dating anywhere from Ancient times to modernity. This specific date has a quote from the Roman philosopher Seneca. The rest of the page is dedicated towards the authors views on the previous material. While it’s not as quotable as, well, the quote, it does give insight to the layman about these seemingly archaic views. This date, the author talks about how reacting extremely to a terrible situation will not solve said situation. It is better to remain calm in the face of adversity, so a clear head can be kept to make better decisions. Every day in the calendar year has something to offer to the would-be stoic.

Impact
This is the trickiest subject, but not at the fault of the book. The book has all the material necessary to change your life, but it can’t be accomplished without you, the reader, internalizing the lessons taught. If you do internalize it, then you will face life as a stoic.

Final Verdict
Buy this book, it’s well put together and has useful information for everybody.

A great habit starter and worth the daily read
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2024
Verified Purchase
I'm a big Ryan Holiday fan for how he presents Stoic philosophy while also broadening our view of current and past life situations. You don't have to agree with every thought or quote in philosophy to be able and sit with it, in thought, to see how it shaped your nature. I started with the Daily Dad book and this just helps on the more personal level of Stoic thought and virtues. It will be read every year!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2024
Verified Purchase
As someone interested in Stoicism and applying its principles, especially in the face of external challenges, I was looking for a more practical and accessible way to incorporate Stoic wisdom into my daily life. This book is the perfect fit, with daily meditations that make ancient philosophy relevant today.

Pros:

• Provides a daily quote from a famous Stoic (Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius)
• Practical and easy-to-understand interpretations of ancient wisdom
• Great for those looking to apply Stoic principles to everyday life
• Can be read daily and reread throughout the year for new insights
• Ideal for anyone seeking personal growth and mindfulness

Cons:

• Occasionally feels American-centric in its interpretation
