Skip it if…

you want theory.

Try instead: Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment →

Three things you will actually use

  1. One exercise per week.
  2. Journal nightly.
  3. Practice, not reading, changes you.

Do this first

Start week one: the dichotomy of control, applied daily.

Our verdict

A year of Stoic practice.
