How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life by Massimo Pigliucci
5.0
A fairly easy read, covering the concepts of stoicism with enough background and explanation to have context and be applicable, but without too much detail as to be tedious or boring.
I especially like the structure of the book, which talks about each of the three Stoic Disciplines (action, desire and ascent) and then has a chapter focused mostly on application and finally one on other Ancient Greek schools of thought.
