Meditations by Aurelius
The Enchiridion by Epictetus (or his Golden Sayings)
On Old Age and On Friendship by Cicero

Yeah but which ones are actually worthwhile

thanks

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Most of Seneca's work is great
>>
Meditations and Letters from a Stoic are good.
Discourses is quite good as well, but I'd recommend Meditations as a primer.
>>

Stoicism is terrible. Quite literally the philosophy for letting yourself get cucked by fate and circumstance.

like i said, it's not for me

>>8144232
Is Meditations entry-level, or more in-depth? It seems good, but I'm looking for something challenging... does it fit the bill?
>>
>>8144318
entry level, get oxfords translation of epictetus. it has the ecnhiridion and everything else by him
>>
>>8144273
How? Are you saying you should worry about things you can't change? Cause that sounds retarded
>>
>>8144273
Not really. Aurelius himself talks about the principles of action and justice in human affairs and that which he can change, and to embrace his fate of that which he cannot.

>>8144386
What is the complete title of the book?
