| You probably wish you didn't have to. Of course, you didn't want it to happen. It would be nicer if things went as planned. But one thing we know about life is that this is just how it goes. Accidents. Disasters. Difficult periods. Challenging situations. Well? As we've said before, this is what we trained for! This is the whole point of Stoicism. There's a great line in a Nathaniel Rateliff song about this. "Now lean and use your weight," he sings, "That's what a shoulder's made for." Adversity and difficulty is what you are for. It's certainly what Stoicism is for! These lessons were tried and tested in the furnace of history. They were subjected to tyrants and exile, plagues and wars, imprisonment and health crises, temptation and trials. And now? Now is your chance to apply them, to use them. You've got the shoulders. You are standing on shoulders of generations of Stoics who came before. Lean and use your weight. Carry the weight. The wisdom and insights of the Stoics have stood the test of more than 2,000 years. The hard part is knowing where to start. Should you read Seneca first? Should you start with Marcus Aurelius? Epictetus? What if you didn't have to pick? What if you could start with all of the Stoics? What if there was a book of the best of Stoic wisdom? We wanted that book. It didn't exist, so we created it. The Daily Stoic (leather edition available here) is 366 meditations, one for every day of the year, of the best wisdom in Stoic philosophy. Right now, The Daily Stoic ebook is just $2.99—90% off the list price. If there was ever a time to get started, it's now!
