《The Daily Stoic》斯多葛醍醐灌頂的365+1

醍醐灌頂的365+1每日指南。​

The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman

核心理念

這本書主要從斯多葛哲學的核心理念提供366章的每日斯多葛冥想。包含非常多的人生哲學，内心平靜的去看待這個世界的混亂、誘惑、保持自律且正面的觀點。

斯多葛哲学强调理性、德行与内心的平静。书中引用了爱比克泰德、马可·奥勒留、塞涅卡等人的思想。

一分鐘看一篇，慢慢的語錄

每一篇都很簡短，但是也直擊重點。簡短的一個引用句子，再延申出故事/想法。每一篇就大概平均用時1分鐘。怎麽説呢，壓縮版精華吧。每一篇都很適合拿來早晨閲讀一篇開始新的一天。

就是一本非常正能量又容易翻頁的一本，對我來説這本書引用的哲學大多時候是會有共鳴的。所以讀的也受益匪淺。

最後

這本書利用每日日期來引導閲讀步伐，但是其實我也沒跟著標注的日期去閲讀。最後因爲年尾要wrap-up閲讀了也索性一次過讀完了剩下的12月的分量。

• No one should be ashamed at changing his mind—that’s what the mind is for.
