Four Great Books To Get Started With Stoicism

I wouldn't have known about Stoic Wisdom if I hadn’t read the book, 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris. I loved the quotes mentioned in the book. And in search of more quotes I started searching about Seneca, more I knew more I was awestruck — ‘coz something was matching and shaking inside the part of me.

But still I didn’t buy any book of Stoic Philosophy.

Later on I watched a video, still by Timothy Ferris and still on Stoicism — I watched the video again and again. It was saying something about “cost of inaction,” and “fear.” I wrote the things down and thought about them. And I felt “yes,” I should now buy the books without any delay.

So here are four books that I ordered, hope you may like them if you feel the way I do.

1) Seneca : Letters from a Stoic
2) Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
3) Discourses and Selected Writings by Epictetus
4) The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman
