Seneca said the path to wisdom was best traveled by acquiring one thing each day. Something that fortifies you against adversity, poverty, death, or whatever else life may throw at you. One might assume Seneca is talking about some physical or spiritual object of tremendous gravity, but we can see from his letters to Lucilius that what he was mostly talking about was quotes.
One quote a day, he was saying (and sharing)—that's all we need to get better and wiser and stronger and more resilient. It’s a bit of advice that has persisted through the centuries and, with websites, Instagram posts, inspirational posters, tattoos and the like, has arguably reached its apogee here in the 21st century.
Well, we're excited to add our voice to that chorus and announce that the Daily Stoic Page-A-Day Calendars are back in stock! Not only that, but unlike past versions of the calendar, this year we made them perennial.
We want you to stop thinking of wisdom as something you get via epiphany or even a couple years of intense study. No, it’s something you accumulate day by day—action by action, as Marcus Aurelius put it—over the course of a lifetime.
