The daily stoic : 366 meditations on wisdom, perseverance, and the art of living / Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. by Holiday, Ryan. Portfolio/Penguin, 2016.

Description:  404 pages ; 22 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (page 405). Contents:  The discipline of perception.

May: Right action ; June: Problem solving ; July: Duty ; August: Pragmatism -- The discipline of will. September: Fortitude and resilience ; October: Virtue and kindness ; November: Acceptance/Amor Fati ; December: Meditation on mortality -- Staying stoic. Summary:  Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with Super Bowl-winning football coaches, 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. This book offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the 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. Other authors:  Hanselman, Stephen.
