This is a lovely little book. I recommend doing it daily, as it is meant to be thought provoking and think about the daily passages. Holiday does a great job making Stoicism approachable to the average person here. If you can stomach this and get anything of value out of it, I recommend his other works on Stoicism.
Fantastic book! It took me 2 months more to finish than the prescribed regime of 1 page a day, but it was all worth it. I love how Ryan Holiday for every entry reinterprets the Stoics by explaining them through contemporary examples and anecdotes. I'll start rereading the book again now to absorb these lifelong lessons even more!
