A book of useful real world wisdom built for action taking and overcoming destructive emotions. I am a new comer to the Stoics but from study so far I have found much to admire about their philosophy.The 366 meditations offer a page a day of stoic wisdom. No complaints so far it’s all been good stuff, some has made me think again and been helpful. I think I am going to like stoicism.The Stoics had the view that life can be very difficult!Stoicism has just a few central teachings. It sets out to remind us of how unpredictable the world can be. How brief our moment of life…
It’s in English but…. In theory the Daily Stoic Meditations and Daily Stoic Journal are a fantastic idea.Though they are in English they are firmly aimed at a US audience. They are full of references to Lincoln, Washington and other individuals from the short history of the United States. This is jarring and an annoyance. With a wealth of history to choose from it’s a shame that the author was unable to find better common reference points for English speakers.
A great daily read Love it, it’s the book I reach for when I get out of bed helps me shape my day and put me in the right mindset.I brilliant daily guide to living in a calm and stoic way. It’s not about being emotionally cut off it’s just about doing what is best rather than what your emotions dictate
