Ryan Holiday Collection 2 Books Set (The Daily Dad and Lives of the Stoics)

This two-book set brings together two works by Ryan Holiday: The Daily Dad and Lives of the Stoics (co-authored with Stephen Hanselman). Together, they present daily reflections on fatherhood alongside an exploration of Stoicism through the people who lived it.

The Daily Dad is structured as 366 short meditations, designed as one entry for each day of the year. Drawing on quotations from history, literature and psychology, it offers concise lessons on fatherhood and the responsibilities of being a role model. Lives of the Stoics takes a biographical approach, using the lives of well-known and lesser-known Stoics to illustrate what it means to live stoically and the lessons found in their struggles and successes.
