Summary: "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 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or 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." -- AmazonSummary: "Where can you find true joy? How can you harness the power of reason? What'sthe true measure of success? How should we manage anger? Find meaning? Conquergrief? The answers to these questions and more lie at the heart of Stoic philosophy. Long the secret weapon of history's great figures, from emperors and fighterpilots to artists and activists, the principles of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Senecahave shone brightly through the centuries as a philosophy for doers. Tested in thelaboratory of human experience over the last two thousand years,this timelessknowledge is essential to navigating the complexities of modern life. The Daily Stoic is a compelling, accessible guide to the good life-bringing classic wisdom to a new generation." -- Cover
