An excellent, practical series of meditations drawing on Stoic philosophy that guide everyday living in the modern world. Surprisingly relevant. Occasionally, the application of Stoic philosophy seemed to be drawing a long bow but, overall, beneficial advice. Much better than some of the saccharine advice given in some books of daily readings.

    Yesterday, I completed a year's worth of daily readings from The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. Each day, there was a short passage from the likes of Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius and Holiday would give a modern example of practical application. After each reading, I'd just jot down a short reflection on how it all related to me personally. The big take-away is that the term stoic has been misused in modern time. Instead of being dour and depressive, stoicism is a commitment to personal joy through freedom, self-reliance and a commitment to values and reasoned choice. “What we seek, to live well, is found in all places.” (Seneca)

    Read it any way you want This reads like the Stoic equivalent of a daily devotional book. Lacking patience to keep it open on my to-read list for a full year, I read it over several days/weeks. This gave me a better feel for the overall “flavor” of Stoicism, and I'm glad I did so. The book quotes heavily from translations of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, but notes where more contemporary figures have leaned on Stoic principles as well. While lacking the insights into the physical universe we have now, Stoicism's insights into human nature and problems are surprisingly relevant. I have encountered them elsewhere in my reading, and now expect to see them elsewhere. Worth your time.
