Peak Stoic 01 - Begin Again

Issue 1 of Peak Stoic. A 30-day Stoic practice journal you write in. Each day gives you one passage from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus or Seneca in a public-domain translation, checked word for word against the source, with a short note on what the author meant, a morning question, one practice to try, and a full page for the evening review.

Four weeks, four disciplines: preparing for the day (Marcus), sorting what is and is not up to you (Epictetus), small, safe voluntary discomfort (Seneca), and the evening audit. Each week opens with a short essay and a worksheet: the rehearsal table, the sorting table, the discomfort ladder and the view from above. It closes with a thirty-day review, a before-and-after self-rating, and a letter to your future self.

56 full-color, saddle-stitched pages that lie flat for writing, illustrated with photographs from Ephesus, Aphrodisias and Hierapolis, the city where Epictetus was born.
