INTRODUCTION

i n his tent at the front near the Granua River in the distant territory
of Germania, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius rose at dawn. It was a
struggle for him to get up this early, but he did anyway; his job required
it. In the lamplight, he sat at the table and began to write in Greek in
his journal about what the day ahead held in store for him. “I will
encounter busybodies, ingrates, egomaniacs, liars, the jealous and
cranks,” he wrote to himself, preparing mentally for the inevitable
difficulties of the life of an emperor, particularly one faced with leading
an army and overseeing the empire from abroad.
But don’t assume this was a complaint. There was not a note of
frustration or resentment in his tone.
Marcus Aurelius was practicing with pleasure the philosophy he’d
come to love and depend on, Stoicism. He was not writing off his fellow
men and his subjects. On the contrary, in the completion of that
thought, he would say of those busybodies and ingrates “that none can
do me harm, or implicate me in ugliness—nor can I be angry at my
relatives or hate them. For we are made for cooperation.” And so he
went about the rest of his morning journaling, writing little notes for
himself on how to think, how to live, what to be grateful for, and then
he proceeded on to meet the day, not simply as a philosopher, but as a
true philosopher king.
If we can go back in time a little further, almost exactly one century
and one evening before Marcus’s morning meditation, we’d find
another Stoic philosopher doing something quite similar. His name
was Seneca, and he was alternatively a powerbroker, a playwright, and
public intellectual serving at the highest levels in the court of Nero.
Instead of journaling in the morning, he preferred to do his at night,
putting, as he said, each day up for review. Seneca would look back on
the day just then coming to a close and ask himself whether his actions
had been just, what he could have done better, what habits he could
curb, how he might improve himself. “We reflect upon that which we
are about to do,” he would tell his older brother about this nightly
routine, “and yet our plans for the future descend from the past.”
INTRODUCTION THE DAILY STOIC JOURNAL

Reviewing the previous day is what helped Seneca prepare for the one
that he would face the following morning.
Epictetus, another famous Stoic, was a former slave who lived a life
not nearly as cushy or powerful as Seneca or Marcus, and would
repeatedly remind his students to rehearse their lessons, to write them
down for their own use. In Discourses, he says, “Every day and night
keep thoughts like these at hand—write them, read them aloud, talk
to yourself and others about them.”
These then, the morning preparation and the evening review, are
two of the most essential and intertwining exercises in Stoic philoso­
phy and a tradition now more than two thousand years old. It’s a tra­
dition that you, in holding The Daily Stoic Journal, are now an heir to
and can continue twice per day in your pursuit of the good life.
Unlike many other philosophies, Stoicism wasn’t designed simply to
be some explanation of the universe. It wasn’t overly interested in com­
plicated questions about where we came from or theoretical discus­
sions of this issue or that one. Stoicism was designed by the Greeks and
perfected by the Romans for the living and the doing of daily life for
the man and woman trying to make it in a confusing world. As such,
it was much more than a set of teachings or long-ago written sentences.
It was instead a set of timeless practical exercises—systems for reduc­
ing fear, thoughts for battling destructive thoughts, reminders of things
we take for granted, tools for resisting temptation, pillars of strength
for tough moments. This meant that Stoicism wasn’t something to be
learned once or read once. It was meant to be studied and practiced.
Consider the title of Marcus Aurelius’s only work, Meditations. He
was meditating, to himself, for himself, on the philosophic principles
he was still learning and practicing even in old age. A peek at Seneca’s
letters finds the same thing—he is writing to someone else, yes, but
clearly the intended audience is also himself. He is thinking out loud.
Epictetus, too, survives in the form of notes written by his student
Arrian, and they read as if his day was spent trying to answer the end­
less questions of his students: What do I do about this? How can I
handle something like that? Any advice for when I ?
In our book The Daily Stoic, we tried to bring a collection of this
wisdom to busy readers in a digestible and accessible way. Instead of
translating and republishing the Stoics in their original form (which
has been done quite well, many times), we created the first ever single-
THE DAILY STOIC JOURNAL INTRODUCTION

volume collection of all the great Stoics, arranged to highlight a thought


from one each day. The response to the book was humbling and surpris­
ing. The book spent three months on the national bestseller lists and
debuted in the form of a keynote address at what was likely the largest
single gathering of Stoics in two thousand years. Our accompanying
daily e-mail at [Link] was inundated with sign-ups, meaning
that each morning tens of thousands of aspiring Stoics were all reading
the same thing at the same time. We also began to see photos online
from readers who had filled up the pages of The Daily Stoic and Mole-
skine journals with thoughts inspired by each day’s meditation.
In response, we set out to create this journal, a companion guide to
The Daily Stoic and a resource to anyone trying to practice the philos­
ophy. We’re honored that you now hold it in your hands.

HOW TO USE THIS JOURNAL


This book presents fifty-two Stoic disciplines or practices, one for each
week of the year. Each practice is presented with some direction about
its significance and application, along with a few quotes from the great
Stoics to help focus your attention on the practice for the week—the
first quote about each weekly practice is taken directly from that same
week in The Daily Stoic. Each day presents a question to help you focus
your morning preparations or evening review (or both). The questions
will work for you whether you are reading along with The Daily Stoic,
using our daily e-mail readings, or any other source.
We have not written a set of commandments or a step-by-step sys­
tem that must be adhered to unthinkingly (if you don’t want to respond
to the prompts, ignore them and write about whatever you feel would
be most beneficial. We also have suggestions at the back for other
sources to use). As Seneca said: “The ones who pioneered these paths
aren’t our masters, but our guides. Truth stands open to everyone; it
hasn’t been monopolized.”
The reason these Stoic practices have been so enduring (and are
enjoying a modern-day resurgence) is that they are relentlessly focused
on the situations that we face on a daily basis, what Richard Sorabji
calls “the ordinary ups and downs of life, on bereavement, loss of
office, promotion, the rat race, money, invasions, the sacking of cities,
exile, worries about health.” As the American philosopher Brand Blan-
shard marveled at Marcus Aurelius’s legacy:
INTRODUCTION THE DAILY STOIC JOURNAL

“Few care now about the marches and countermarches of the


Roman commanders. What the centuries have clung to is a note­
book of thoughts by a man whose real life was largely unknown
who put down in the midnight dimness not the events of the day
or the plans of the morrow, but something of far more permanent
interest, the ideals and aspirations that a rare spirit lived by.”

The Roman Stoics focused not on words, but action. As Seneca


memorably put it, “Philosophy teaches us how to act, not how to talk.”
This bias toward improving our actions on a daily basis was something
Epictetus made central to his teaching, summarized in his warning
“not to be satisfied with mere learning, but to add practice and then
training.”
This journal is a place to focus your attention (prosoche) and prac­
tice (melete) as you try to remember and apply what you are learning
on the path to progress (prokope). When you pursue the Stoic disci­
plines presented in this journal, each morning you will ask, as the great
modern Stoic Pierre Hadot put it, “What principles will guide and
inspire my actions?” And each evening you will examine where you fell
short of those principles, as well as where you have made progress. You
can begin on any calendar date you choose and proceed until the book
is complete.
Together, the fifty-two ideals and aspirations offer something for
every situation. Whether it’s dealing with bad habits like complaining
(Week XXXI), procrastination (Week XXXV), or panic (Week XXXIX),
or finding less destructive alternatives to anger (Week XXIX), fear of
the future (Week XXXIV), or dealing with haters (Week XXXVIII),
you will find practical tools to put to use. You will gain powerful per­
spective by learning the exercise of taking “the view from above”
(Week XXII), or learning to see things as others do (Week XI), and by
taking on a role model (Week XXIII). You’ll train yourself in the Stoic
basics like the dichotomy of control (Week I), focus on the present
moment (Week V), or how to test your impressions (Week XV).
It’s important to remember this isn’t a contest to see if you can live
like some perfect sage or escape the correction of someone farther along
the path than you. Anyone who uses philosophy that way is decidedly
un-Stoic! As Seneca reminded us, “Let philosophy scrape off your own
faults, rather than be a way to rail against the faults of others.” Think
THE DAILY STOIC JOURNAL INTRODUCTION

of this journal as a brush for your own soul, just like brushing your
teeth each morning and each evening.
The final lesson at the end of this book is the most essential one of
all of Stoic philosophy: learning how to turn words into works. We
hope you will make it that far, and if you do, we encourage you to start
the same journey once again the following year, for you will be, as
Heraclitus said, no longer the same person nor will this be the same
book.
WEEK I
WHAT’S UP TO US, WHAT’S NOT UP TO US

r pictetus’s handbook (the Enchiridion) begins with the most power-


L— ful exercise in all of Stoicism: the distinction between the things
that are “up to us” (in our control) and the things that are “not up to
us.” It is this, the dichotomy of control, that is the first principle in the
entire philosophy. We don’t control many of the things we pursue in
life—yet we become angry, sad, hurt, scared, or jealous when we don’t
get them. In fact, those emotions—those reactions—are about the only
thing that we do control. If that is the only lesson you journal about or
remember for this year, consider it a year well and philosophically
lived.

“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate mat­
ters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not
under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actu­
ally control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to
uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are
my own . ..”
—Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4-5

“Some things are in our control, while others are not. We control
our opinion, choice, desire, aversion, and, in a word, everything
of our own doing. We don’t control our body, property, reputa­
tion, position, and, in a word, everything not of our own doing.
Even more, the things in our control are by nature free, unhin­
dered, and unobstructed, while those not in our control are weak,
slavish, can be hindered, and are not our own.”
—Epictetus, Enchiridion 1.1-2

“We control our reasoned choice and all acts that depend on that
moral will. What’s not under our control are the body and any of
its parts, our possessions, parents, siblings, children, or country—
anything with which we might associate.”
—Epictetus, Discourses, 1.22.10

THE SPHERE OF CHOICE

i f the first step is to discern what is or isn’t in our control, the second
is to focus our energy on the things we have a choice about. The Sto­
ics viewed the soul as a sphere that, when well tuned, well directed,
was an invincible fortress against any trial or circumstance. Protected
by our reason, this sphere of choice (prohairesis) is like a sacred temple
and is the only thing we truly possess in life. We are the product of our
choices, so it is essential then that we choose well. This week, consider
and reflect on the choices you have: about your emotions, your actions,
your beliefs, and your priorities.

“Keep this thought at the ready at daybreak, and through the day
and night—there is only one path to happiness, and that is in
giving up all outside of your sphere of choice, regarding nothing
else as your possession, surrendering all else to God and Fortune.”
—Epictetus, Discourses, 4.4.39

“Who then is invincible? The one who cannot be upset by anything


outside their reasoned choice.”
—Epictetus, Discourses, 1.18.21

“The soul is a sphere, true to itself. It neither projects itself toward


any external thing nor does it collapse on itself, but instead radi­
ates a light which it shows itself the truth of all things and the
truth in itself.”
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 11.12

"broken" colors, but they may, for present convenience, be termed
reduced or broken scales.
Full Color.—A color corresponding in intensity with its manifestation
in the solar spectrum.
Pure Color.—A color corresponding in purity with (or, in the case of
material colors, closely approximating to) one of the spectrum
colors.
Broken Color.—Any one of the spectrum colors or hues dulled or
reduced in purity by admixture (in any proportion) of neutral gray, or
varying relative proportions of both black and white; also produced
by admixture of certain spectrum colors, as red with green, orange
with blue, yellow with violet, etc. These broken colors are far more
numerous in Nature than the pure spectrum colors, and include the
almost infinite variations of brown, russet, citrine, olive, drab, etc.
They are often called dull or neutral colors.
Fundamental Colors.—The six psychologically distinct colors of the
solar spectrum; Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet.
Primary Colors.—Theoretically, any of the spectrum colors which
cannot be made by mixture of two other colors. According to the
generally accepted Young-Helmholtz theory, the primary colors are
red, green, and violet: orange and yellow resulting from a mixture of
red and green, and blue from a mixture of green and violet. There is
considerable difference of opinion, however, as to this question, and
further investigation of the subject seems to be required; at any
rate, authorities fail to explain why red may be exactly reproduced
(except as to the degree of luminosity) by a mixture of orange and
violet, exactly as yellow results from mixture of red and green or
blue from green or violet, green being, in fact, the only spectrum
color that cannot be made by mixture of other colors.[24]
Chroma.—Degree of freedom from white light; purity, intensity or
fullness of color.
Luminosity.—Degree of brightness or clearness. The relative
luminosity of the spectrum colors is as follows: [Yellow (brightest)?],
orange yellow; orange; greenish-yellow, yellow-green, and green;
orange-red; red and blue (equal); violet-blue, blue-violet, violet.[25]
Warm Colors.—The colors nearer the red end of the spectrum or
those of longer wave-lengths (red, orange, and yellow, and
connecting hues) "and combinations in which they predominate."[26]
Cool, or Cold, Colors.—The colors nearer the violet end of the
spectrum or those of shorter wave-length, especially blue and green-
blue. "But it is, perhaps, questionable whether green and violet may
be termed either warm or cool."
Complementary Color.—"As white light is the sum of all color, if we
take from white light a given color the remaining color is the
complement of the given color." When any two colors or hues which
when combined in proper proportion on the color-wheel produce, by
rotation, neutral gray, these two colors each represent the
complementary of the other.
Constants of Color.—The constants of color are numbers which
measure (1) the wave-length, (2) the chroma, and (3) the
luminosity.
In addition to the terms defined above there are many others, for
which the reader is referred to the chapter on "Color Definitions" on
pages 23-30 of Milton Bradley's excellent and most useful book
"Elementary Color."
TABLE OF PERCENTAGES OF COMPONENT COLORS
IN THE CONNECTING HUES OF THE CHROMATIC
SCALE.
The following table shows the relative percentages, in color-wheel
measurement, of the two components in each of the hues connecting
adjacent pairs of the six spectrum colors as represented on the original
Plates of this work; together with an equal number of exact intermediates

One of the most serious difficulties encountered in the preparation of
the Plates of this work was the apparent impracticability of
reproducing satisfactory shades of pure colors. This originated in the
fact that there seems to be no substance (pigment, dye, or fabric)
which represents a true black, all reflecting more or less of white
light, and consequently producing shades which are dull or broken.
The difficulty is increased by the additional fact that any black
pigment mixed with almost any color falls short of even the color-
wheel mixture in purity of hue in the resulting shades, owing to the
very considerable amount of gray in all black pigments.
Chromolithography can be made to produce clearer and better
shades of the pure colors, but is distinctly objectionable for the
purpose of a work of this kind owing to eventual oxidation of the oil
or varnish with which the pigments are combined in lithographic
inks, causing a change of hue; reds becoming more orange, blues
more greenish, etc., in course of time.
While the absence (in large part) of pure chromatic shades is much
to be regretted, the defect is not so serious, from the standpoint of
utility, as might appear at first sight; for while saturated or darkened
pure colors are not uncommon in the animal, vegetable, and mineral
kingdoms, more or less broken dark colors are infinitely more so;
and since the latter are greatly increased in number by the defect
mentioned the actual result is rather an advantage than otherwise.
It will doubtless be noticed that there is a conspicuous difference in
relative darkness between shades of yellow and contiguous hues on
the one hand and corresponding ones of violet and adjacent hues on
the other, as if the percentage of black in each were very different.
This, however, is entirely the result of difference of luminosity of the
two sets of colors, that of yellow being between 7000 and 8000
while that of violet is only about 13;[28] for the percentage of black
in corresponding tones of the vertical scales is precisely the same for
each color throughout the chromatic scale of this work.
TABLE SHOWING PERCENTAGES OF NEUTRAL

Every Plate in each series of broken colors (′ to ′′′′′) contains exactly
the same percentage of neutral gray in each color, the relative

DYES AND PIGMENTS USED IN THE
PREPARATION OF THE MAXWELL DISKS,
REPRESENTING THE THIRTY-SIX COLORS OF
THE PURE SPECTRUM SCALE, FORMING THE
BASIS OF THE COLOR-SCHEME OF THIS
WORK.[29]
Red.—Devoe's geranium lake (dry), its orange hue neutralized by a
wash of rhodamin b. (Crocein scarlet b. washed with rhodamin b.
produces practically the same fine red.)
Hues between red and orange.—Crocein scarlet b. with gold
orange.
Orange.—Gold orange with orange g.
Hues between orange and yellow.—Orange g. with auramin.
Yellow.—Auramin, rather dilute. (The best substitute among
pigments is a fine quality of zinc yellow, as Hatfield's.)
Hues between yellow and green.—Auramin washed with light
green.
Green.—Auramin (very dilute) washed with light green. (The
auramin should be applied first, because it "sets" or becomes fast
quickly, while the light green does not, but is largely removed by
overwashes of the yellow, thus rendering it very difficult to get the
desired hue.)
Hues between green and blue.—Methyl green; the same washed
with light blue (Diamond Dye); for the hues nearer blue, light blue
washed with Winsor and Newton's permanent blue or new blue (the
least violet-hued of the artificial ultramarines).
Blue.—Light blue washed with permanent blue or new blue.
(Although the color is nearer that of the artificial ultramarines
named, it is useless to apply the latter first, for overwashes of the
light blue merely sink through and darken the color without
improving the hue. A moderately saturated solution of the light blue
should be applied first, and when this is dry covered with one or
more rather thin washes of the permanent blue or new blue).
Hues between blue and violet.—Winsor and Newton's permanent
blue and some of the more violet-hued artificial ultramarines, the
hues nearer violet washed with crystal violet or gentian violet.
Violet.—Crystal violet.
Hues between violet and red.—Methyl violet 1b. washed with
rhodamin b.; for hues nearer red, rhodamin b. with Devoe's
geranium red (dry) or crocein scarlet b.
While more or less similar in hue to rhodamin b., several other
aniline dyes, as acid fuchsin, rubin s., rosein, magenta, etc., do not
combine satisfactorily with the violets, the mixture soon becoming
dark or dull and none of them are quite as pure a purple or red-
violet.
It is most important to remember that disks thus colored must be
carefully protected from light when not in actual use and never
exposed to direct sunlight. The artificial ultramarines are, of course,
permanent, and so, practically, are crocein scarlet, gold orange,
orange g., and auramin—that is to say, are not materially affected by
the action of light except after very prolonged exposure, though the
last named undergoes a change of hue; but the green and violet
aniline dyes are all very evanescent, rapidly fading and eventually
disappearing; light blue and rhodamin, while sensitive to light, are
far less so than the greens and violets.
