The Inner Citadel: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius by Pierre Hadot And one last thing, I wrote this primarily for myself as a list for books to read this year. That research led to the below list-what I would call is (hopefully) the ultimate collection of books on-or inspired by-Stoicism with a short description to give you a taste. I want to thank Massimo as well as everyone from the reddit community who contributed to the discussion. They contain timeless truths and wisdom for any era.īut what if you wanted to go deeper? What if you wanted to read commentary and biographies on the practitioners? How did the philosophy develop over the years? What do the critics have to say? How did Stoicism inspire Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy? Or maybe you want to find a fiction book that is inspired by Stoicism? Or just a simple introductory text for beginners? It’s that curiosity that led me to ask the Stoicism community on reddit earlier this year for suggestions on the best books on Stoicism as well as looking around online for recommendations (including helpful lists on Goodreads and from Massimo Pigliucci ). In them, we find the wisdom to help us overcome adversity, find serenity and live well. You can pick up Seneca, Marcus Aurelius or Epictetus and find the writing fresh as ever. The best part about Stoicism is that you can go to the primary texts, read them and feel like they were written yesterday, not 2000 years ago.
