Summary

For thousands of years, Stoic philosophy has been the secret operating system of wise leaders, artists, athletes, brilliant thinkers and ordinary citizens。 With the acclaimed, bestselling books The Obstacle is the Way, Ego is the Enemy and The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman have helped to bring the Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus to hundreds of thousands of new readers all over the world。

Now Holiday and Hanselman are back with The Daily Stoic Journal, a beautifully designed hardcover journal that features space for morning and evening notes, along with advice for integrating this ancient philosophy into our 21st century lives。 Readers will find weekly explanations and quotations to inspire deeper reflection on Stoic practices, daily prompts, and a helpful introduction explaining the various Stoic tools of self-management。

This is the perfect companion volume for people who already love The Daily Stoic, its popular daily emails and social media accounts, and can also be used as a stand-alone journal。 For anyone seeking inner peace, clarity and effectiveness in our crazy world, this book will help them immensely for the next year--and for the rest of their lives。

In current stressful times this was a reminder of the benefits of the Stoic practices for the calm mind。

Thought provoking stoic meditations in bite size chunks for whizz journaling

Pretty impossible to use without the counterpart book that explains prompts and extracts reasons that are not there from extracts of old work。 Interpretations range from the begrudgingly obvious to the stretched thin repetition of a book that tries to work through sayings and diaries to pull 366 reasonable prompts for a year in the life。 Until something better comes along, though, there it is。 An absolutely fine understanding of Stoicism, and living your life for a year with this book and the co Pretty impossible to use without the counterpart book that explains prompts and extracts reasons that are not there from extracts of old work。 Interpretations range from the begrudgingly obvious to the stretched thin repetition of a book that tries to work through sayings and diaries to pull 366 reasonable prompts for a year in the life。 Until something better comes along, though, there it is。 An absolutely fine understanding of Stoicism, and living your life for a year with this book and the counterpart will make absolutely no difference since philosophy is applied independently, regardless of input from book, film or authors telling you to do this or that。 Good enough, mighty be handy next year。 。。。more

A great journal to help the practicing Stoic on their daily journey。 Have been using it for years and will continue to。 Each month, each week, and day there is an actionable statement for which to reflect upon and write。 It stimulates the writer into reflecting, thinking and planning on how they can make that day the best it can be。 A great product。

Uma reflexão por dia。 Foi uma boa companhia de todos os dias, onde pude refletir muita vezes sobre temas que nunca tinha imaginado e sobre outros que de facto continuam a fazer muito sentido。

Diego Beaumont

Antiguas reflexiones que funcionan para la contemporaneidad

Querube Panamá

Muy BuenoLa verdad me gustó mucho, da una reflexión cada día del año y descubrir cada lección día a día es una dinámica muy interesante。El contenido me ha dado más curiosidad por los estoicos, muy bueno。

Diogo Ramos

Not really a book but a great companion to the Daily Stoic book。 Some of the questions are not very clear or even redundant, however it did help me be more consistent with journaling and wonder about things I often don’t, which I believe is the main point。

Marcelo Alemi

Excelente livro para leitura curta diária。

Joni Fisher

This stoic journal begins each day's entry with a deep thought-provoking question to ponder。 By the end of the day, the question has been answered or continues to churn。 Even observations about what the question means to the reader clarify the reader's position。 These are important questions worth the time and effort to consider。 These questions shape or reshape the mind to form a stable foundation of values。 This stoic journal begins each day's entry with a deep thought-provoking question to ponder。 By the end of the day, the question has been answered or continues to churn。 Even observations about what the question means to the reader clarify the reader's position。 These are important questions worth the time and effort to consider。 These questions shape or reshape the mind to form a stable foundation of values。 。。。more

Filosofía para cada día El diseño del libro me parece que es muy bueno para agregar cada día un nuevo conocimiento, esta escrito de manera amable con el lector y fácilmente puedes leerlo no sólo en tu Kindle sino en tu teléfono móvil

Marion

I really like the idea of a quote a day, yet some of the quotes were cut too short。 Which made some of the meaning in them fade away。

Vicente Perez

Amor fati。 Memento mori

Alvaro

Muy ameno e interesante, es una forma muy cómoda de entrar en esta filosofía con pequeñas píldoras con las que reflexionar en nuestro día a día。 Sin duda muy recomendable para cualquier persona interesada en aprender de estoicismo

Ben Rogers

I quite enjoyed this journal。 Something I plan to continue throughout the year。 Combining this and the [time block planner by cal newport], will make a huge step for your plans!Would recommend this for philosophy fans。3。8/5

Marian Agustin

Yo lo amé, demasiado entretenido, demasiado fácil。。。 Me nació el amor a la filosofía gracias a este libro。 Cada página es un recordarlo del deber ser para vivir

nao sou nem perto de ser estoica mas foi legal

Is there a harder working writer out there than Ryan Holiday? If so, I haven’t met that person。 I do know Ryan and get a chance to see up close how hard he works at his craft。 It’s inspiring。 He’s young and has written so many bestselling books。 And now comes this beautiful journal。 He explains a Stoic concept each week and then opens each day with a related question like “Which of my possessions own me?”, “What bad habit did I curb today?” or “Am I doing deep work?” My only qualm was the calend Is there a harder working writer out there than Ryan Holiday?

Um bom livros com ideias pragmáticas。O que falta é uma sensação de A-há ao término do livro。Há ponderações sensatas, como não se preocupar com o que não depende de nós mesmos。Ou, avaliar as situações de forma objetiva (o famoso contar até dez antes de fazer algo)。Interessante é sermos capazes de lembrar a nossa finitude。

Stefien

I really enjoyed that this “book”’helped me to build a daily gratitude practice for the last year! Also the food for thought on a daily and weekly basis helped me to look at things differently and grow as an individual! I would surely recommend for anyone that is starting to build such practice!

David

I just purchased this as the companion book to the Daily Stoic Reader。 It is now a part of my morning and evening writing habit。

Elena

When I saw the title for the first time, I thought it was another self-help book。 Fortunately, the wisdom, accurate analogies with the lifestyle of contemporary societies, and the anecdotes as well the background of the quoted reflections written by great antic philosophers make this book fun to read and focus on what the next day has for you。

David Llinares

Following the stoic series from the author, The Daily Stoic Journal was the natural step to read and do。While in the beginning it's hard (like many things) the guidance provided, the exercises and the questions to look into are an excellent start point to carry with this practice。 I believe that once you start an if you're constant, you will see the benefits from yourself。 It's like meditation writhing on a paper。 It all makes sense in your own personal practice rather than anybody else words。 Following the stoic series from the author, The Daily Stoic Journal was the natural step to read and do。While in the beginning it's hard (like many things) the guidance provided, the exercises and the questions to look into are an excellent start point to carry with this practice。 I believe that once you start an if you're constant, you will see the benefits from yourself。 It's like meditation writhing on a paper。 It all makes sense in your own personal practice rather than anybody else words。 。。。more

Good for daily mediation - don't beat yourself up for not keeping up -don't view it as mandatory - just evaluate the lessons when the mood takes you and you need it on one of those days you're mental regins start to slip。 Did inspire me to start journalling。 Good for daily mediation - don't beat yourself up for not keeping up -don't view it as mandatory - just evaluate the lessons when the mood takes you and you need it on one of those days you're mental regins start to slip。 Did inspire me to start journalling。 。。。more

I used this in conjunction with The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations by Ryan Holiday, a provisional review of which I wrote here。 While this journal is not absolutely necessary to enjoy that book, it does help you maximize the benefits that you can derive from it。 This is not just a redundant repackaging of the advices and maxims espoused by the former。 It actually serves as a useful adjunct, supplementing the main text with additional applicable insights。This is made evident by the way the author i I used this in conjunction with The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations by Ryan Holiday, a provisional review of which I wrote here。 While this journal is not absolutely necessary to enjoy that book, it does help you maximize the benefits that you can derive from it。 This is not just a redundant repackaging of the advices and maxims espoused by the former。 It actually serves as a useful adjunct, supplementing the main text with additional applicable insights。This is made evident by the way the author implemented a weekly format, as opposed to the daily devotional style of the original book。 There is a central theme for each week that encompasses the otherwise disparate ideas covered in the corresponding seven days in The Daily Stoic。 The lessons discussed here plumb some of the concepts that were tackled in the latter, providing fresh perspectives that help give at least a semblance of unity and cohesion to the welter of knowledge the author presented across successive days。 It does recycle some of the passages though。 It can function as a standalone book in its own right, although I reckon that you may need to have had a broad exposure to and a solid grasp of the Stoic philosophy to glean the context behind the questions。 As expected, the quality of the paper does not even come close to the luxurious feel of your average artisan journal。 That's quite beside the point given the different purpose behind it。 It is definitely cheaper on a per page basis though, and it contains relevant and constructive text besides。 If one plans to purchase a diary for the source book, one may as well consider this。 The only concern here is if the space allotted for the daily question would be sufficient for the user's needs。 In my case it is。 Every day, there are blank lines provided for morning and evening reflections, each of which occupies a third of a page。 What I do is I write my answer along with some relevant thoughts in the morning section, while in the evening part I record my notes and meditations on the lesson du jour of the main book, which usually or at least tangentially ties in with the question here anyways。 8/10; 4 stars。 。。。more

Ryan Holiday nos presenta un extracto de una idea estoica por parte de Séneca, Marco Aurelio, Epicteto, Zenón de Citio, entre otros junto a una reflexión para cada día。 Son cortos y la verdad que bastante agradables, recomendado para comenzar el día con una buena reflexión。Lo volvería a leer y como pendiente tengo buscar algún libro que tenga pensamientos diarios de estoicismo, hedonismo, cinismo, epicureísmo, entre otras corrientes filosóficas。 Si alguien conoce alguno, es bienvenido。

Rob Roy

Since January 1 this year I have started my day with the meditation in this book。 Stoicism is not a religion, but rather a philosophy on how to lead your life towards happiness。 It is far from the dower existence that many think of when they hear about Stoicism。 It has been an insightful experience and I highly recommend it。 For this coming year, I have found a book of daily Shakespearian quotes。

Michael Dewey

A companion journal to The Daily Stoic, this book features weekly themes, and daily questions that compliment the source material。 You’ll find a space for both morning and evening meditations as you strive to apply the material to your daily life。 I personally found it the journal to be a nice routine to both frame out and end my day。 While a few of the questions were a bit ambiguous, and sometimes did not clearly relate to the source material, it wasn’t so often that I wouldn’t consider using t A companion journal to The Daily Stoic, this book features weekly themes, and daily questions that compliment the source material。 You’ll find a space for both morning and evening meditations as you strive to apply the material to your daily life。 I personally found it the journal to be a nice routine to both frame out and end my day。 While a few of the questions were a bit ambiguous, and sometimes did not clearly relate to the source material, it wasn’t so often that I wouldn’t consider using this journal again, and I plan to do so for the upcoming new year of 2022。 I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys The Daily Stoic, as I do。 。。。more

This is a great way to get yourself to not just read about stoicism, but to practice daily。。。 if you can make the habit stick。 For me, personally, I have not managed to make it stick, but I plan to make this part of my daily routine。 It has some very useful stoic lessons, and complements Ryan's daily emails pretty well。 This is a great way to get yourself to not just read about stoicism, but to practice daily。。。 if you can make the habit stick。 For me, personally, I have not managed to make it stick, but I plan to make this part of my daily routine。 It has some very useful stoic lessons, and complements Ryan's daily emails pretty well。 。。。more
