Peak Stoic 12 - Gratitude

Issue 12 of Peak Stoic, the last of the year. A 30-day Stoic practice journal on gratitude: who made you, what you already have, how far you have come, and carrying it on. 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, a morning question, one practice to try, and a full page for the evening review.

Week 1 follows Book 1 of the Meditations, in which Marcus thanks everyone who made him. Worksheets: write your own Book One, a gratitude inventory, a review of all twelve Stoic practices, and a notebook of rules for the year ahead. Three portraits: Marcus’s mother, and his teachers Sextus and Maximus.

56 full-color, saddle-stitched pages that lie flat for writing, illustrated with photographs from Ephesus, Aphrodisias and Selçuk. A thoughtful gift, complete on its own.
