About the book
A year of short daily readings in Stoic philosophy, the book was compiled by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman, with one page for each of 366 dates. Each page pairs a newly translated passage from a Stoic thinker, among them Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Zeno, Cleanthes and Musonius Rufus, with commentary and historical anecdotes that tie the idea to concerns such as anger, grief, success and the search for meaning. The months are arranged by theme. It is Holiday's fifth book and Hanselman's first. It is meant to be read one page a day across the year rather than straight through.
Jack Canfield endorsed it as a source of practical wisdom, and Foundry Group co-founder Brad Feld called it a delight after reading it mostly a page a day in the mornings. Podcaster Louis Grenier recommends its short essays as a way into Stoic thinking.

This book was a delight. I started reading it earlier this year, caught up quickly (I started in July), and then mostly read a page each day when I was in the bathroom in the morning. I let it unfold slowly, reading the daily quote and Ryan Holiday’s (and Stephen Hanselman’s) thoughts on the quote, and then rereading the quote.
Louis Grenier (Podcaster in Chief/Everyone Hates Marketers)
About tranquility and stoicism and focusing on change, you need to read “The Daily Stoic” which is 365 essays, small essays about stoicism and why you should focus on things that don’t change.
