The best books on Stoicism

Recommended by Massimo Pigliucci, author of A Field Guide to a Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living. Interview by Nigel Warburton at Five Books.

"... there has been the deliberate, concerted effort of a relatively small number of people, largely coalescing around two organizations: Modern Stoicism and the Stoic Fellowship. The first group organizes the annual Stoic Week and Stoicon events, and has been fostering a number of local, smaller 'Stoicon-X' gatherings; the second one has the goal of helping people create local 'Stoas, connecting in person, as much as it is currently possible because of Covid, of course."

See Epictetus, Enchiridon, in Gateway to the Great Books (10 Vol., 1963) volume 10; Discourses, in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 12, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 11.

See Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 12, and (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 11.
