THE DAILY STOIC BY RYAN HOLIDAY AND STEPHEN HANSELMAN

The Three Disciplines of Stoicism
The book organizes the Stoic philosophy into three interconnected disciplines, each essential for cultivating inner strength and wisdom: 

• Discipline of Perception: This involves how you see and interpret the world around you. The goal is to view things objectively, without emotional bias or preconceptions, and accept only what is true. By controlling your perceptions, you can achieve mental clarity and prevent anger or fear from taking hold.
• Discipline of Action: This discipline focuses on the decisions and actions you take, emphasizing a commitment to the common good and ethical behavior. It involves acting with intention, practicing self-discipline, and turning obstacles into opportunities for growth. The idea that "the obstacle is the way" is central here.
• Discipline of Will: This is how you deal with the things you cannot change, involving the strength to accept fate, practice fortitude, and gain a true understanding of your place in the universe. It includes concepts like amor fati (a love of fate) and meditating on mortality (memento mori).
