The beloved classic daily devotional of Stoic meditations—the only authorized print edition in the US and complete with a ribbon marker—with more than two million copies sold!
Why have history’s greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today’s top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise.
The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you’ll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms.
By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you’ll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.

Great book. Buy it at a local shop. Avoid the Amazon abuse.
Great book. Amazon did the author no favors though. Shipped a severely damaged product. Won’t accept seller feedback on their own service.

Daily Stoic Meditations
Such an amazing book. I don’t recommend reading it all in one shot. I think stoicism is supposed to be taken in small doses. Sipped on like fine wine. It’s best to read the meditations one day at a time. This way, you’ll have time to soak in what’s been presented and reflect on it.

Highly recommend!
An amazing book! The sections are manageable and very thought-provoking. There is even space usually beneath each day’s section where you can write notes.

For me, the Daily Stoic is far more than just a bookâit’s a guide, a mentor, and a daily ritual. Iâve purchased it many times for friends and family. Having completed it over a year when I bought my first copy and I still refer to it frequently now. With 366 meditations drawn from the writings of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and other Stoic thinkers, each page offers a moment of calm, insight, and grounding reflection.What makes this book so powerful is its relevance. These ancient teachings are not out of date – they speak directly to the challenges of modern life: resilience in the face of stress, finding peace amidst chaos, and focusing on what we can control. Each entry is paired with clear, thoughtful commentary that brings the core ideas to life and makes them easy to apply.Whether you’re struggling with personal decisions, seeking focus, or simply trying to be a better human, The Daily Stoic delivers timeless wisdom in digestible, daily doses. It’s a legacy of the Stoics made personal, practical, and profound.I turn to this book often âit never fails to offer something meaningful. Keep it within reach, revisit often, and pass down to others.A quiet powerhouse of wisdom. Essential reading for anyone on a path of growth, discipline, and reflection.
