In theory the Daily Stoic Meditations and Daily Stoic Journal are a fantastic idea.
Though they are in English they are firmly aimed at a US audience. They are full of references to Lincoln, Washington and other individuals from the short history of the United States. This is jarring and an annoyance. With a wealth of history to choose from it's a shame that the author was unable to find better common reference points for English speakers.

Poor quality book detracts from the excellent life lessons there-in.

What a pity such a useful book has been produced so cheaply as to make it unpleasant to hold and read. The pages are so tightly packed into a narrow binding, that I find it hard to hold a page open. Before too long the spine will break!! The print is quite small and insufficient space has been allowed for centre margins, so that ends of sentences disappear into the spine of the book. Sadly for me the aforementioned very much detracts from what is clearly a very useful and inspirational book, giving daily thoughts to reflect on and to use to improve our sense of wellbeing and happiness. Ryan Holiday you could have done better - if this had been my introduction to Stoicism, I doubt I would have gone further than the first few pages.

Some nuggets but annoying 'Interpretations'.

I like the Stoic way of thinking and there are some great short quotations from some of the great Stoics here but the schmalzy prose of the America authors' interpretations I just can't stomach.

Consise, and easy to read

I started out reading 01/01/2022, and planned to follow the structure of reading a page every day per the books structure. While this may be perfect for others, i def like to sit down and read for a while so now by 12th of Jan i have travelled in time and im now at February goin on March. Its nice here.

Apart from that: a little more easy to read than i expected, for good and for bad. I wish the «explanation» or «correlation» under the stoic quotes were a bit longer, as well as using more complex examples rather than «put away your phone and pay attention». (It doesnt make it less true, but a little more complexity in ode to the great Philosophers was def expected)

HOWEVER: they do a good job correlating ancient philosophy to modern day issues. Its a great buy, and will continue to read! I reckon its a good place to start if u just want some stoic guidance or if ur just getting into stoicism.

I found the book useful in that is gives perspective to life and how we live it. The month of December however (up till today, the 6th) has left me wanting to top myself.

Good collection of quotes but the font is small although there is enough space left on the pages

Starts well ...

So the idea is great and the idea of mediating in small parts of stoic practice fits well with cbt.
However, the truth is the lessons are simple and are worth repeating until they become habits rather than working through some of the less useful stuff later in the book.

Basic book, not what I imagined, book itself is a quality product.

Ok, some good insights. Did it for a year
. Some sections better than others. Feelings are still important though

Stoic can be a bit dry.
