The short list. Everything here I’ve read or used myself.
Stoicism — start with the sources
- Meditations — Marcus Aurelius (Gregory Hays translation). The place to start.
- Letters from a Stoic — Seneca. Practical, funny, human.
- Discourses and Selected Writings — Epictetus. The drill sergeant of the three.
Primal & ancestral health
- Walk daily, lift heavy things a few times a week, sprint occasionally.
- Eat whole foods your great-grandmother would recognize.
- Get sunlight early, sleep in the dark, and use cold and heat deliberately.
