Beautifully packaged daily doses of Stoic wisdom, from the author of The Obstacle is the Way.

'No role is so well suited to philosophy as the one you happen to be in right now.' - Marcus Aurelius

The Stoics' unique blend of practicality and wisdom has been inspiring the most successful among us for centuries, from Roman Emperors to Barack Obama, and most recently via Ryan Holiday's bestselling The Obstacle is the Way. If that book introduced readers to the idea that what is in the way is the way, The Daily Stoic widens our view on the Stoic philosophy and shows that it can be applied to any problem.

From how to manage failure to getting what you want, the ideas of Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and others continue to be vitally relevant to today's doers and thinkers. Here, in bold new translations of the ancient classics, language is stripped down to reveal powerful aphorisms that cut straight to the heart of our day-to-day challenges.

Presented in a page-per-day format, this daily resource of Stoic inspiration combines quotations with calls to further reflection - and action. Arranged topically, this guide features twelve principles for overcoming obstacles and achieving greater satisfaction. It introduces readers to a new daily ritual and new orientation that will bring them balanced action, insight, effectiveness, and serenity.

Great first-year intro into Stoic thought

Reviewed in Australia on 20 November 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is designed to be read one-meditation-per-day for a year. You don't have to start it on January 1, but it is a good idea to start at the beginning of a month. Sticking to that habit for the whole year isn't easy but it is a good discipline. It is best to work out a time of day that you will always be able to take that five or ten minutes. Perhaps in the morning on your commute, and then over your morning coffee on the weekends. But pick those times and stick to it.

Cycling through the whole book over a year is recommended, but once you've done that, it can be worthwhile dipping into it in subsequent years.

The structure of the book is based on a quote from an ancient text, and then a page or two discussing the quote and putting it in context. Massimo Pigliucci's podcast "Stoic Meditations" provides a similar model in spoken word form, if that suits you better.

Overall recommended, but not in isolation. If you just wanting to know more about Stoic philosophy in general, start with the original texts (especially Epictetus) and some of the modern reinterpretations, such as those by Pigliucci or William Irvine. If, however, you have decided that this is the life philosophy you want to commit to, going through this book is a good practice for your first year in.

The book breaks down the components of stoicism into bite size chunks aka by suggesting the reader covers off one concept a day. If you haven't delved into this philosophy, it is great way to allow readers an insight & also provides encouragement to weight how their own personal ethics are working (or not), for them. It therefore can become a journey to grow.

It's a great read. The transkation if the teachings of Epictetus, Seneca and others are easy to absorb.

One year daily read

Reviewed in Australia on 30 December 2017

It was a pleasure to read one page a day for the entire year __ some ideas I applied that day’ some were soon forgotten and some I hope I still use now and again __ the point I think is to try to live the good life every day. Look forward to doing it all again in 2018 and beyond 😀

Great book

Reviewed in Australia on 30 September 2020

Verified Purchase

I loved this book so much I bought it in three different formats (kindle, audio book and physical). However, I would have to say the physical book is by far the most practical. The layout of the book with a date for each quote makes it easy to gain a little wisdom every day. I wish there were more books like this.

Reviewed in Australia on 4 January 2022

Verified Purchase

I found this book quite a good read.

Taking the whole year, doing one page a day let me sit down and ponder on the days subject. Aligning it to my life and how I could change the way I viewed certain things happening in my life.

Worth it if you are into philosophy.

A thoughtful collection of daily stoic philosophy.

Reviewed in Australia on 30 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I start most days reading this and other stoic works (kindle version on phone for this very reason, always there!)

Yes, you can get raw translations of the source of these snippets, but the daily stoic helps guide the analysis of the philosophy so it prompts deeper thinking - that is where the value is.

Well thought out, life changing and motivating!

The book was a great idea. A verse a day to reflect upon. Curated well and good explanations. I use it when I'm writing my daily thoughts into my journal. It ends up as notes of reflection for the day.

It's in English but....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2019

Verified Purchase

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.

Changed my life after cancer diagnosis

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 October 2021

Verified Purchase

I’ve had this book for a while now, this is the second copy. Last year I was given an advanced stage 4 cancer diagnosis in November, completely out of the blue after thinking I had a hernia. Not what I was expecting mid 40’s. After the initial shock I picked up the daily stoic again which happened to be acceptance (November) and death (December). Funny how the book seems to know what you need lol!
I have to say the daily musings on both, particularly death completely altered the way I was coping (catastophising) and as a result I saw the diagnosis for what it was, got my head in order and accepted whatever was to come along. After almost a year of treatments, including a full gastrectomy, two lots of chemo and radiotherapy I’m still using the book daily and referring back to it whenever I feel the need.
Ok this is probably an extreme case for a review but for £8, the price of a few coffees, it’s been invaluable. Whatever is round the corner for me in the future who knows but it’s pointless worrying now about it. Buy it if you want some real world perspective on life and your role in it, you won’t be disappointed.

A book of useful real world wisdom built for action taking and overcoming destructive emotions.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2018

Verified Purchase

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 is. How to be steadfast, and strong, and in control of yourself. And finally, that the source of our dissatisfaction lies in our impulsive dependency on our reflexive senses rather than logic.
Stoicism doesn’t concern itself with complicated theories about the world, but with helping us overcome destructive emotions and act on what can be acted upon. It’s built for action, not endless debate.
Stoics take time each day to look inwards and reflect on our shortcomings and review how the day went and see if there is anything we could have done better. Doing this daily helps us to refine our habits towards what we really want to do with our lives, pushes us to do more and see obstacles as something to be overcome.
I havent made a huge study of the stoics yet but what I have discovered has been good and is helping me to give life direction and feel a sense of purpose. I already feel more in control and satisfied because of it.

Mr. Cholmondley Warner

I took a Stoic view when I ordered this.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2019

Verified Purchase

I discovered Stoicism through reading Tom Wolfe's 'A Man in Full'. That's a really good read so I won't go into detail because of spoilers.
This book is more self-help than all the other self-help books put together. It's not 'preachy' just practical. The format is a ideal. Each day of the year has a quote from a famous Stoic and brief comment on the quote. It doesn't tell you 'do this and that will happen'. It asks you to ask questions of yourself. Two or three minutes reading in the morning and a whole day of thinking. You will get out of this what you put into it. If you're new to Stoicism the views may surprise you. If you're an old hand Stoic it's a great way to start the day.
This book could change your life. To what degree is up to you.

Life is something you “get” to do.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Sometimes with the pace, pressures and constant distractions of daily modern life, you need to be sat down and reminded of some common sense.

In this book grandads Seneca, Epictetus and grumpy uncle Marcus will give it to you straight. In their day it really was tough.

I read this book everyday and it has been a springboard into further philosophical research, something I’d never have previously considered.
I recommend this book to everyone, it benefited an angry, frustrated misery like me enormously. Imagine what it could do for you.
