Various Retailers have The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance & the Art of Living (eBook) by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman on sale for $1.99

Thanks to Deal Editor powerfuldoppler for posting this deal.

Available from:Book Synopsis:
  • Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise.
  • The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms.
  • By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.

This is excerpts of writings from Aurelius. Holiday takes 1 writing and analyzes it with / for you. I've struggled with the source material Meditations. The translations matter but I still struggled and thus this is good for me.
Neither. Depending on your goals I would recommend reading anything by Donald Robertson on Stoicism before picking up Holiday. I would especially recommend "How to Think Like A Roman Emperor" instead of Meditations. The audiobook is ready (excellently) by the Author and the book itself is put together great. If you are more of a graphic novel person, Verissimus is about Marcus. A lot of Robertson's works are available to rent through the libraries.
nice find

Quote from gadgetzilla :
I have some digital credits that I collected by choosing delayed shipments.

Would those credits apply towards this purchase?

Thanks !
Yes, No-Rush credits apply to Kindle E book purchases. Be careful though because I don't think they will apply to 3rd party books...but I just purchased the Kindle of this title and my credits applied. Also if you have Prime, don't forget this is the last day to use your No-Rush credits to get Showtime/AMC/Epix for 1.99 for 2 months...almost missed it myself!

Should I read this or Meditations by Marcus Aurelius?

I highly recommend the Hays edition if you want something easier to digest for the original works. Read the original first. Everything else commentary.

Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing, ask "What is it, in itself? What is its nature?"

What does he do, this man you seek?

This is really great. Highly recommend even if it wasn't practically free.

I started reading this at the beginning of the year. I am enjoying it so far. Been putting it off for a while so I am glad I finally picked it up.
