The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

Description:

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.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Daily Stoic follows up on the success of [The Obstacle Is The Way] by providing a year of quotations and life lessons drawn from the three great Stoic sages.”
The Wall Street Journal

"Whether you're a lowly cubicle slave or a US Senator, this book will help you find your still center."
Gregory Hays, translator of The Modern Library's edition of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations

"A generous gift of guidance on modern living culled from a canon of wisdom hatched long ago."
Maria Popova, editor of Brain Pickings

"A richly rewarding spring of practical wisdom to help you focus on what's in your control, eliminate false and limiting beliefs, and take more effective action. Make 
The Daily Stoic your guide and you will grow in clarity, effectiveness, and serenity each day!" 
Jack Canfield, co-author of The Success Principles and the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series

The Daily Stoic is a treasure for managing our choices, overcoming self-deception, and learning to act according to the true worth of things while keeping the common good always in view. Caring for the soul in this way makes not only better people, but a stronger society too." 
Joseph A. Maciariello, Professor Emeritus at The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management; author of The Daily Drucker, The Effective Executive in Action, and A Year with Peter Drucker

Sharon Lebell, interpreter of The Art of Living by Epictetus

M. · August 22, 2025

This book has been life changing. So much "forgotten" wisdom. Though there is a passage for you every day for a year, I can see myself reading this for years to come. It is a fast and easy read for any given day - but a lot to think about and act upon.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-buy - kudos to the authors for their research!

A.L. · September 5, 2025

05 Sept 2025: This is a great collection of stoic principles and examples how how discipline can change your life. If you're struggling with something; alcohol, life, weight loss, etc. - this is the book to buy. It's a page a day; a calendar with a quote/story to think about to put your life and thoughts (back) into perspective. It's helped me immensely since I purchased it. I'm glad I did and I'd recommend it to others hands down. Great job, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. This is a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stoicism for everyday life

M.F. · February 12, 2017

The Daily Stoic does exactly what intends to do, and that is to guide you through life’s daily troubles.SummaryFor those who want to get to the point, this is a good book. If you want to become more resilient against life’s obstacles, you should buy this book.• Who should read this book: This is a book for someone who wants to become more “thick-skinned” in life, but also do the right thing. If you want to become someone who never flinches towards adversity, this is the book for you.• Format: Well designed. Each page corresponds to a date on the calendar, so each day comes with a new meditation. You never need to read more than one page a day• Content: Each page starts with a relevant topic for any stoic. A related quote soon follows. Much of the page is dedicated to the authors explanation of the quote in everyday terms.• Impact: While the book won’t internalize it for you, it will tell you what you need to do to persevere through life’s challenges.Detailed ReviewWho should read this bookThis book is useful to everyone, because everyone faces challenges in life. This book is meant to help you through these challenges. While it won’t solve your problems for you, it will give you guidance, but also the fortitude to face them. You can be someone can’t seem to get a break, or you can have your entire life under control. Either way, this book will toughen you up to become a master of your own life.FormatThis book isn’t made to be read in one sitting. Consider it more of a calendar in book form. The authors named it well since it truly is meant to be read daily. It might be daunting to read something every day, but it’s not. You will be able to read it in less than five minutes, but will give you something to think about for the rest of the day.ContentI’ll use the page of February 8th as an example. A title like “Did that make you feel better?” follows a calendar date on each page, in this case, February 8th. A related quote soon follows from a famous stoic, dating anywhere from Ancient times to modernity. This specific date has a quote from the Roman philosopher Seneca. The rest of the page is dedicated towards the authors views on the previous material. While it’s not as quotable as, well, the quote, it does give insight to the layman about these seemingly archaic views. This date, the author talks about how reacting extremely to a terrible situation will not solve said situation. It is better to remain calm in the face of adversity, so a clear head can be kept to make better decisions. Every day in the calendar year has something to offer to the would-be stoic.ImpactThis is the trickiest subject, but not at the fault of the book. The book has all the material necessary to change your life, but it can’t be accomplished without you, the reader, internalizing the lessons taught. If you do internalize it, then you will face life as a stoic.Final VerdictBuy this book, it’s well put together and has useful information for everybody.

Most of the pages are helpful and inspiring. Ryan's political beliefs are pretty clear in all of his books, but including Saul Alinsky as a stoic is a bit of a stretch.

I love this book. My brother has a high profile, high-stress job and when I asked him what he does to control his anxiety, he told me he reads a page every day.I created a routine where I read a page to my wife each morning to start off our day the right way.

Review of The Daily Stoic by Ryan HolidayMy first journey through The Daily Stoic has been transformative. Each daily meditation offered more than a moment of reflection—it became an affirmation to prioritize my mental and physical well-being. Ryan Holiday’s carefully curated insights served as a gentle but persistent reminder to stay grounded and intentional in my actions.What truly sets this book apart, however, is its ability to connect the reader to something larger than themselves—a timeless dialogue that bridges the past, present, and future. Through its pages, I found a sense of continuity and purpose, drawing wisdom from ancient thinkers while applying their lessons to modern life.The Daily Stoic is more than a book; it is a guide, a companion, and a source of strength for anyone seeking clarity and resilience in their daily life.
