Books like Stoicism & emotion by Margaret Graver

Ego is the enemy of success and fulfillment—Ryan Holiday shows how unchecked pride hinders learning, blinds leaders to fault, and worsens failure, offering practical strategies to conquer it for lasting impact.

An accessible guide to Stoic philosophy, tracing its evolution from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius and demonstrating its relevance to contemporary ethical life.

This book offers a general introduction to Stoicism, the first for over 30 years (since Sandbach's The Stoics from 1975, or Long's Hellenistic Philosophy from 1974). It outlines the central philosophical ideas of Stoicism and introduces the reader to the different ancient authors and sources that they will encounter when exploring Stoicism. The range of sources that are drawn upon in the reconstruction of Stoic philosophy can be bewildering for the beginner. The book guides the reader through the surviving works of the late Stoic authors, such as Seneca and Epictetus, and the fragments relating to the early Stoics found in authors such as Plutarch and Stobaeus. The opening chapter offers an introduction to the ancient Stoics, their works, and other ancient authors who report material about ancient Stoic philosophy. The second chapter considers how the Stoics themselves conceived philosophy and how they structured their own philosophical system. Chapters Three to Five offer accounts of Stoic philosophical doctrines arranged according to the Stoic division of philosophical discourse into three parts: logic, physics, and ethics. The final chapter considers the later impact of Stoicism on Western philosophy, from late antiquity to the present.

In this collection of thirteen essays, all especially commissioned for the present volume, an international group of philosophers offer to a wider philosophical public an up-to-date exposition and analysis of the principal philosophical problems that concerned the Stoics.
