The Daily Stoic offers Stoic insights and exercises, a short meditation for each day of the year, paired with practical commentary on applying Stoic principles to modern life. I try to read it daily and very highly recommend it.
7 of my favorite Stoic lessons from February:
1) Strength is the ability to maintain a hold of oneself.
What a phenomenal read. A transformative guide to rethinking our goals with an experimental mindset by committing to curiosity, practicing mindful productivity and collaborating with uncertainty.
7 lessons from the book:
1) The promise of an experimental mindset:
Experimental Mindset - High Curiosity + High Ambition
2) Turn doubts into experiments:
When in doubt, run a personal experiment using a pact - a time bound commitment to a repeatable action.
Our personal and professional success depends upon our ability to understand and be understood. This book will guide you to become a more effective listener and speaker.
2) Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg
It focuses on creating a consciousness of empathy, understanding, and connection, not just with others but within oneself. It provides concrete steps for applying NVC in everyday interactions.
3) Crucial Conversations by Stephen R. Covey, Kerry Patterson, and Joseph Grenny
The book gives you the tools you need to step up to life’s most difficult and important conversations, say what’s on your mind, and achieve the positive resolutions you want.
