Stoicism provides useful tools and practical strategies to navigate through everyday problems and living a more meaningful and happy life. Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that was established by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. It is a simple approach to overcome destructive emotions and act with reason. This philosophy has been practiced by both historical and modern men, including artists, kings, presidents, authors, and entrepreneurs. Daily Stoicism is an attempt to distill the life-changing ideas from the best resources on Stoicism and philosophy in daily easy-to-read meditations.

Every meditation has been crafted to give you either the essence and the formula, if you will, of the subject at hand, or a groundbreaking idea introduced by the respective author. The fundamentals to attaining practical wisdom and living a good life will never change and that's why Stoicism has proven to be such an indispensable philosophy to learn the art of living.
