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.

The point? If I know I have to read about these wisdoms, u aren't relying on yourself internally for the truth. Nothing is wrong other than showing that u limit yourself, nobody else. The process is accelerated when u look within, removing the artificial biases of everything, the system, by which we were each conditioned to accept. Until we realize the system is itself artificial, we must transcend above that by realizing it's limitations. Then we learn to let go. Be like water, accept incoming information, and adapt to the direction to which it flows (direction less, the natural force of gravity). The less resistance, the faster our rate of growth mindset.

January 9th What We Control and What We Don't: "Some things are in our control, while others are not. We control our opinion, choice, desire, aversion, and, in a word, everything of our own doing. We don't control our body, property, reputation, position, and, in a word, everything not of our own doing. Even more, the things in our control are by nature free, unhindered, and unobstructed, while those not in our control are weak, slavish, can be hindered, and are not our own."
I wish a book could turn overly emotional HotHeads into stoics. but it's hard if not impossible for tigers to change their stripes. but others seem to be born more naturally stoical... I think I'll have to skip it. I would be more inclined to read it if it had a lot of humor in it.
