The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Stephen Hanselman, Ryan Holiday
4.0
I received this for Christmas last year. I started reading stoic philosophy hoping it world help put life in perspective. When the world’s on fire, we need all the help we can get.
Overall, the daily readings are great. Each month has a focus and emphasis. Thinking like a stoic, which has a lot in common with Buddhism and Asian philosophy, helps me deal the chaos of life.
Warning: what follows is my opinion, feel free to ignore.
The only complaint I have is that Rayan Holiday’s commentaries sometimes make sweeping generalities that annoyed me and made me question if he’d read the same passage as I had or if he’d thought through statements like college degrees are worthless.
