Diary of Stoics

365 Reflections for a Strong Mind, a Free Spirit, and a Heart Full of Love (Self-help & Personal development)

“This book won’t entertain you. It will train you.” “If your mind feels scattered, your life will follow. This book is about taking it back.” “Read one page a day—and let it change the way you think, decide, and live.”

Reflections for a Strong Mind, a Free Spirit, and a Heart Full of Love

This is the kind of Stoicism book you give to someone when they need it most—when life feels scattered, when purpose fades, or when they’ve lost their inner compass. Designed to be read one page a day, each reflection arrives like a quiet message at the exact moment it’s needed. A daily Stoic companion. A calendar of reflections rooted in Stoic philosophy that helps you access the strength, clarity, and wisdom you already carry within.

This is a personal development book that lives with you. It moves through the rooms of your home, waiting to be opened on the right page, at the right time. The message you find there is meant for you alone. Because you are your own teacher. And the truth you need always reveals itself when you are ready.

Be warned—it may not be what you want to hear. But growth rarely is. As the Stoics understood, “Weakness is tied to illusion, and strength to truth.”
Open your inner ear. Sharpen your inner vision. Let your heart tune into sensation. Allow your mind to connect external events with your inner world. These reflections guide you, but the work is yours. This is daily Stoicism practiced, not theorized.

About the Authors

Carlos Oliveira and Alberto Bosquet form a rare and powerful alliance. Two voices. One shared purpose: helping people build character, discipline, and inner freedom in a chaotic world.

From CEOs and elite athletes to entrepreneurs, creatives, and everyday seekers, they have spent years guiding people through what they call The Five Mountains of Success—a framework for resilience, clarity, and meaningful achievement. In Diary of Stoics, their experience takes shape as a Stoic self-help book built on daily reflection, deep questions, and practical wisdom.

Through their podcast, they explore relationships, fear, habits, emotional resilience, financial well-being, and modern Stoicism—always with tools that can be applied immediately. Following the success of books such as Choose to Live, Diary of a Tattooed Stoic, How to Live 100 Years and Enjoy It, and Spiritual Discipline, this book represents the distillation of years of mentorship and thousands of real-life transformations.

Diary of Stoics is more than a book. It is a daily reflection book and a training ground for the mind. Each page blends classical Stoic teachings with modern personal growth practices, helping you turn adversity into discipline and uncertainty into direction.

Alberto Bosquet, a mentor shaped by lived experience, scars, and hard-earned lessons, guides readers with honesty and depth. His Bamboo Gym training method and leadership in Men’s Circles reflect a philosophy where strength and sensitivity exist side by side.

Carlos Oliveira, with a background in business and a lifelong commitment to personal growth, brings structure, balance, and grounded insight for navigating modern life with clarity and discipline.

Together, they invite you on a transformative journey—one that teaches you how to live with resilience, purpose, and courage.

This book is an invitation to explore your potential, break limiting patterns, and embrace a philosophy that shows you how to face uncertainty with the steady confidence of a true Stoic.
