This is The Way: Stoic Lessons on Strength and Honor
is a great introduction to Stoic philosophy. It's full of mantras and lessons to live your life by. It's basically a handbook for the core principals of Stoicism laid out in an easy to understand manner. There are 294 short techniques to ease you into a Stoical way of life. It has really piqued my interest in Stoicism and philosophy in general, to the point where I am already attempting to adopt some of the beliefs for use in my life. I have purchased some more books on Stoicism and intend to read them shortly.
My one gripe is that I would have liked for each of the 294 lessons to be categorised under their respective tenet of Stoicism. This would have made it much easier to later reference a specific lesson. There is also repetition in some of the lessons but I suppose that's necessary in helping the reader understand and heed the lessons of the book.
