what is a good book for a newbie?

Two books by modern writers:

My name is William Ferraiolo, I am a Philosophy Professor and author, and my new book of essays about Stoicism and Philosophy of Religion is now available from John Hunt Publishing: 👍

Excerpt:
“Since they are not dispensed in tablet or capsule form, Stoic anxiolytics remain available without prescription and exhibit an extraordinarily benign side effect profile. They rarely cause weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or uncontrollable movements of the limbs. Physiological dependence is relatively uncommon – and not especially pernicious. Instead, Stoicism offers rationally grounded, proven psychological techniques for the gradual development of consistent self-mastery and emotional detachment from those elements of the human condition that tend to cause the most pervasive and unsettling forms of fear, anxiety, and avoidable disquiet.”
