Livros no varal,Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman · EUA · @portfolio_books
Li esse livro ao longo de todo o ano de 2021. A estrutura é feita desse modo: um pequeno trecho para ser lido a cada dia, com um pensamento de um filósofo estoico e um texto de explicação daquela ideia para aplicação prática na nossa vida. É uma excelente forma de manter o hábito da leitura diária e, de quebra, conhecer melhor o estoicismo. No final do ano, descobri que a @intrinseca lançou uma edição em português chamada #diarioestoico. Recomendo o livro e assinar a newsletter do site do @dailystoic .
