Try "Thoughts of a Philosophical Fighter Pilot" by James Bond Stockdale; he's one of the examples used in "The Obstacle is the Way."

Letters from a Stoic by Seneca, and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Manolo Macchetta
I d go with Pigliucci's stuff. So far the best in Stoicism I ve read
Ian Nate
Lives of the Stoics by Ryan Holiday - one of my favs.

"Happy: Why More or Less Everything Is Absolutely Fine" by Derren Brown. "A Guide to the Good Life" by William B. Irvine is also good
Amit
The daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday is really good, I read just a few pages but found it very practical with great lessons on living good.

Meditations can be a tough slog. Pigliucci's "How to be a Stoic" is highly readable and gives you more grounding in philosophy. Also, Epictetus "The Art of Living" by Sharon Lebell (called an interpretation because she modernizes it) is terrific
Jen namurit
Aside from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, Enchiridion by Epictetus, A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine (although most people, esp academics, rail against this one), and Albert Ellis' A Guide to Rational Living.
