The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Stephen Hanselman, Ryan Holiday
5.0
While this book won't give you a coherent overview of stoicism, it contains the little tidbits and mantras needed to jump from a relatively abstract knowledge, to the day-to-day mindset of a practicing stoic.
The book has a quote from a famous stoic every day (split into twelve categories by month), and an analysis of the quote to go along with it. Each one is easily digestible, perfect for when you've just woken up, or are going to bed.
My only criticism is that the book has a slightly American bias. Nevertheless, any US specific analyses are generalisable enough to be understood by anyone.
