365 Lessons from the Stoics

The teachings of Stoic philosophy began and thrived in the Greek and Roman world until the 3rd century AD, and has since experienced multiple revivals right up to the modern day.


With wise lessons in subjects from friendship and passions to virtue and nature, there is much that we can learn from the writings of the Stoics. And in this book, readers can explore 365 quotes—one for each day of the year—from Stoicism’s most notable names: Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus.


Using translations of their original writings and meditations, 365 Lessons from the Stoics will provide access to the Stoics’ ancient wisdom in bite-sized chunks. Each quote will be assigned a theme, allowing readers to realize the power of the Stoic’s words for self-improvement, learning, and understanding in their life.


Including an Introduction to the Stoics and Stoicism, readers will gain insight into the lives and era of the Stoics, before delving into the wise words that continue to rise in popularity today, and prove all the more relevant for today’s world.
