Welcome to Lit in a Nutshell, the podcast where we distill the world’s best books into timeless wisdom and practical insights.

Today, we’re diving into The Daily Stoic — a modern guide to ancient philosophy, written by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman.

This book isn’t just something you read — it’s something you live. Through 366 daily meditations, it brings the teachings of Stoic masters like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca into your everyday life.

In a world full of noise, stress, and distraction, Stoicism reminds us of what truly matters: mastering our emotions, accepting what we can’t control, and living with courage, discipline, and purpose.

So whether you're just starting your day, or hitting reset after a rough one, this episode will walk you through some of the key lessons and how you can apply them — today.

Let’s take a deep breath, clear our minds, and step into the stillness. This is The Daily Stoic, in a nutshell.
