Stoicism for Every Day. 366 Reflections on Wisdom, Will, and the Art of Living

All the wisdom of stoicism in a convenient form for every day.
What is stoicism? For the average person, this concept is not associated with a life oriented towards action. In most cases, it is understood as a synonym for "emotional... flatness." In fact, the philosophy of the Stoics teaches that virtue is happiness, and the root of most problems lies not in external things, but in how we perceive them.
Born in a tumultuous ancient world, stoicism is aimed at the unpredictable nature of life and remains relevant. This book returns it to its rightful place as a tool for achieving self-control, perseverance, and wisdom.
Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman studied the works of great stoic philosophers and selected one thought for each day of the year. The authors analyzed each of them, supplemented with stories and exercises—you will be able to better understand what it's about and find answers to your pressing questions.
For a deeper exploration of the topic, a practical addition to the book is available—the Stoic Journal.

Who is this book for:

For those who need support and guidelines in everyday life.
For those who want to maintain calmness and clarity of thought in difficult times.
For those who wish to achieve their goals through self-control, perseverance, and wisdom.
For those who want to get to know the philosophy of stoicism better.

From the authors:

Except for the most ardent seekers of wisdom, stoicism is either unknown or misunderstood today.
It is hard to find a word that the language has treated more unfairly than the word "stoic." For the average person, this vibrant, action-oriented lifestyle, which changes the worldview, is some kind of abbreviation for "emotional flatness." Moreover, considering the fact that simply mentioning philosophy makes most people nervous and bored, the expression "stoic philosophy" sounds like the last thing people would want to study, let alone the necessity of this in everyday life.
What a sad fate for a philosophy that even one of its occasional critics, Arthur Schopenhauer, described as "the highest peak that man can reach merely by using his ability to think!"
The aim of this book is to restore stoicism to its rightful place as a tool for achieving self-control, perseverance, and wisdom: what people use to live a real life, not for some esoteric realms of academia.
