Peak Stoic 03 - Enough

Issue 3 of Peak Stoic. A 30-day Stoic practice journal on temperance: wanting less, owning less, and enjoying more. 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: notice the wanting, things and money, attention and praise, and pleasure well used. Each week opens with a short essay and a worksheet: the desire audit, the thirty-day wait list, the attention ledger, and your own rules. It opens with three portraits of enough (Antoninus Pius, Diogenes, and Seneca, the millionaire who preached simplicity) and closes by asking you to define, in writing, what enough means for you.

56 full-color, saddle-stitched pages that lie flat for writing, illustrated with photographs from Aphrodisias, Selçuk and the Ephesus Museum. A good way to start a new year. No earlier issues needed.
