Welcome to this episode of The Via Stoica Podcast, titled "Must-Read Stoic Books: How to Start and Expand Your Stoic Journey." In this episode, we delve into the essential reading list for anyone interested in Stoic philosophy. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, we’ve got you covered with recommendations from classic to contemporary authors.
We begin with the foundational texts of Stoicism. Discover the profound wisdom of Marcus Aurelius’ "Meditations," the practical teachings of Epictetus’ "Enchiridion," and the insightful letters of Seneca in "Letters from a Stoic." These ancient works have stood the test of time, offering invaluable guidance on living a virtuous and meaningful life.
Moving to modern interpretations, we explore the contributions of contemporary Stoic authors. Learn from Donald Robertson’s "How to Think Like a Roman Emperor," which merges ancient philosophy with modern psychotherapy. Massimo Pigliucci’s "How to Be a Stoic" provides a practical approach to applying Stoic principles in today’s world. Ryan Holiday’s "The Daily Stoic" offers daily meditations to keep you grounded and focused.
We also highlight some lesser-known yet impactful books. William Irvine’s "A Guide to the Good Life" provides a comprehensive introduction to Stoic philosophy. Mark Tuitert’s "The Stoic Mindset: Train Like an Olympian" applies Stoic principles to achieving peak performance. Lastly, Pierre Hadot’s "The Inner Citadel" offers an in-depth analysis of Marcus Aurelius’ "Meditations," enriching your understanding of this classic work.
