I just finished reading Everyday Stoicism, and I have to say, it's a fantastic intro to Stoic philosophy. If you're new to Stoicism and aren’t sure where to start, this book is perfect. It takes some of the key ideas from Stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca, and breaks them down in a way that's super easy to understand.

One of the things I really liked was how the book isn’t just theoretical – it’s practical too. The author gives you 12 chapters, each designed to guide you through a month of putting Stoic principles into action. Each chapter gives you concrete steps to apply the philosophy to real life. Whether it’s dealing with stress, building resilience, or just focusing on personal growth, there’s something actionable in every chapter that you can start using right away.

The tone is really conversational and down-to-earth, which made it easy to stay engaged. You never feel like you’re being lectured to; instead, it feels like you’re just having a chat with someone who’s sharing their wisdom. Plus, I love how it makes you reflect on your own life and how you can apply these timeless ideas in your day-to-day routine.

Big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC! Everyday Stoicism is a great read if you're looking to live a more intentional and mindful life. Highly recommend it!

This is a solid book on Stoicism for beginners. The book is broken into 12 themes—one theme for each month of the year—allowing the reader to engage with Stoic principles at a manageable pace. The themes or "lessons" are both solid and practical, offering guidance on how to apply Stoicism to everyday challenges. Each chapter provides actionable steps, making it easier to integrate the themes into modern life. Overall, it's a good introduction to Stoic philosophy, blending theory and practice in a way that's approachable for anyone looking to cultivate resilience and mindfulness.
