Author Description

In the 4 years since its publication, The Daily Stoic has sold nearly one million copies in over 20 languages. It’s been studied by Super Bowl winning football teams, top CEOs, movie stars and everyday people to live their best life. This new version of the classic book was personally designed by author Ryan Holiday to be truly special. While the content inside is the same, it features a level of quality not possible on mass produced books. Featuring a genuine leather cover, printed on premium paper with gilt edged paper, and including all-new custom illustrations, this limited edition of The Daily Stoic makes for a perfect gift for yourself or another Stoic in your life. From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a beautiful daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. 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.
