The Daily Stoic

366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

De: Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman

Narrado por: Brian Holsopple

From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a beautiful daily devotional of Stoic meditations.

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 a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from Emperor Marcus Aurelius, playwright Seneca, and 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.

Mandatory

Mandatory listening for all who desire happiness. Insightful, encouraging, and beautifully written and read. MUST LISTEN

Thought provoking and necessary

A fantastic book that will get your mind in the right place and allow you to establish your place in the world. It helped me pause and reflect and then pivot on many of the things in life. It helped me decide to move forward full force in opening my own company, now and not later. It helped me get over fear and understand we can only control our own reasoned choice. It helps you in so many ways become armed with what it takes to be a good person. At the end, I do believe what they say. Enough reading, it is time to turn words into works! Be a good person, do your part to contribute to the world.

Very good synthesis of basic stoic ideas and practices.

The practical aspect of philosophy with day to day meditations to motivate activation in ones life. Simple and profound advice.

The Daily Stoic

An outstanding book!!! There are so many pearls in this volume I must master these principles for a lifetime. Superbly written and explained.

Repeatable For Years To Come

Any additional comments?

This is one I will be listening to throughout the year. A daily devotional/powerful quotes to help you think and act like the boss you are. This is a very repeatable book for years to come.

One of my favorite books

this book, along with daily meditation, will dramatically help improve your quality of life. highly recommend

Great listen!

Even if it's supposed to be heard one chapter a day, I could not stop and went through it in a couple of days. Good stuff if your tired of the same old "self-help" material. This is deep!

Una pincelada de filosofía diaria

Soy un amante de la filosofía estoica, por su practicidad.
Me ha gustado mucho el formato de este libro, que permite aprovechar cualquier hueco en nuestra ajetreada y estresante vida, y permitirnos reflexionar por unos minutos, y pararnos a pensar en lo que realmente merece la pena.
Está pensado para escucharse un capítulo al día (366 en total), personalmente no pude evitar la tentación de terminarlo en menos de una semana. Quizás me haga con la versión escrita, más apropiada para dicho propósito.

Best book on Audible

No question, if you listen to audio books for knowledge and hopefully the wisdom that it creates, you will love this book.
As philosophers, you and I are all faced with choices. You cannot learn how to act from a book. Personal change is difficult. But you can learn and practice. If you do not gain anything from this book or it doesn’t change your life, something is seriously wrong with you.

Stoic wisdom condensed

This has become just a great habit. Just try to push yourself to listen in any order, find myself reaching for stoicism the more hectic life gets.
