About this listen
From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a beautiful daily devotional of Stoic meditations.
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 a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from Emperor Marcus Aurelius, playwright Seneca, and 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. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come), you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.

Genuinely brilliant.
Would you listen to The Daily Stoic again? Why?
I will listen to this daily. It's genuinely useful, practical and impactful wisdom. Brilliantly well researched and easy to use, engage with and understand. The quotes are delivered in a somewhat hammy acting style, which (before becoming a stoic! ) would probably have annoyed me intensely. In the end they are just part of the rich content, delivery and experience- and quite funny. It's a really great book. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a sense of clarity in their lives.

You won't find a better guide
You won't find a better guide, whether you are used to studying philosophy, or curiosity caused you to buy this book...even if you are learned in Stocism, we all need a daily pep talk at some time. It would be somewhat difficult to get the best out of this material unless you are / have been serious about putting it's lessons in place and cementing them into your very core. It takes a strong character to PRACTICE Stoicism, but if you can put aside all notions of modern day assumptions as to what Stoicism is, concentrating on the ancient laws that guide it into true Stoic nature and being, this is the book you need to experience true peace of mind. I bought the accompanying journal on the back of using this book...

Great book - exceptional research
A book for today, and tomorrow. I love it. My only complaint is the narrator, in that he sounds dated, from a bygone era ... the sort of narrator from a black and white version of Spartacus. Why???? This is a book for 2016, for 2020, for 2030 ... kind of annoying, but not a show stopper

Life changing
Truly life changing. I'll be listening atleast one more time. The meditations are invaluable, I feel far more accustomed to handle what life throws at me now. Honestly worth it! :)
