Those interested in learning more about Stoicism are encouraged to read my Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy (New York: Oxford University Press, 2009), in which I introduce the Stoic philosophers and explain how we can put their principles to work in our own life. Those wishing a deeper understanding of Stoic philosophy should take a look at Massimo Pigliucci’s excellent How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life (New York: Basic Books, 2017).
