I found stoicism@lemmy.world

Party pooper. 😄

Ryan Holliday is a good way to dip your toe into Stoicism. I’ve found that he tends to regurgitate the same handful of quotes, though, and never seems to get deep into the philosophy.

He quotes Book 5.1 quite often, for example. It’s great motivation, sure. But it makes Holliday feel more like a motivational speaker than a teacher of Stoicism.

I don’t have an answer for you, but I am interested in what others may suggest!

The first step is admitting the problem.

I hadn’t heard of this translation. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to check it out!

Fair points on the app. I do hope you enjoy the newsletters though.
