A New York Times Noteworthy Pick and a "stellar work" by Publishers Weekly

From the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue.

Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire.

In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes.

More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.

The best throw blanket we own.
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I cannot tell you how soft this is. It is so soft and nice and warm. I live in a part of the country that gets some really cold we get snow until like the beginning or middle of May and this was perfect. I curled up with it the other night and it was so warm and so comfy. Both of my children have special needs and my daughter really loves blankets so I got this blanket for her when I saw the chance to pick it up I was so happy and she loves it. She slept with it the other night and usually she'll rotate between blankets I have a lot of comforters and stuff I review a lot of comforters and blankets because that's what our family uses so I have a really good sense of you know buying blankets and getting blankets and knowing what works for us and what doesn't. This is really nice. If your children or family members or even you love warm soft luxurious blankets this is going to be the one for you. It is such a pretty color it's black but it's got like a different shades of pink and it's got white on it it is just so nice and the lettering is really crisp it's not like on there like it's not ironed on there like some of the places they iron stuff on or like you could tell that it's really cheap this isn't cheap it's like really really nicely done I just can't say how much I love it and the seams are double sown it looks like it's sown and then someone over so like it's really really not ever going to come apart it is just so nice

Super soft and cozy plush throw blanket by Juicy Couture. Super cozy! ✨️
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I love Juicy Couture products, and so I ordered this Juicy Couture Oversized Plush Throw Blanket. It measures 60" x 70", and has the Script Wave Black design. I have a couple of other Juicy Couture blankets that I absolutely love, and this one is no different. I love the look of this blanket, as it's chic and stylish; I like the black background color, with the logo words in cursive (and in different colors). The contrast of the logo words/design looks nice juxtaposed to the background. This blanket was presented very nicely, which would make for an excellent gift idea. This blanket feels super soft, and is great for various spaces. It's versatile nature makes it great for using on the couch, chairs, or on one's bed. This blanket has a decent thickness to it; I feel cozy and warm when wrapped up in this blanket. I'm about 5'4", so this blanket can wrap around me nicely. It did have some shedding at first; there were these tiny little fluffy dots that I initially saw while opening the blanket for the first time. However, they seem to have stopped after I washed the blanket. Also, this blanket does seem easy to care for; I just tossed it in my regular washer, and then dried it in my dryer. It still feels velvety soft and smooth. So, I'd say it's easy to keep clean, at least in my experience thus far. I really like this blanket, and it adds a touch of coziness and style to my living spaces. This blanket looks really nice draped over a couch, chair, or across a bed. I love how nice of quality this Juicy Couture blanket is, and am glad I ordered it.

Soft + Stunning!!!
Color: Jc Lace Heart White, Size: 60"x70", Color: Jc Lace Heart White, Size: 60"x70"
I was immediately drawn to this blanket as a fan of the brand and for its unique, vintage lace design. And it doesn't disappoint! It looks just like the product photos and is really high quality and well made. The presentation from the start is stunning. It comes on a wooden hanger and is secured with a bow. And the blanket itself is amazing! The fabric is super thick, plush, and heavy. And it's on the large side compared to some of my other throws, so it's extremely cozy and comfortable. The contrast of the black and white is beautifully striking too, and the details are so dainty and crisp. I haven't noticed any shedding and its washability seems promising, but I'll update if I run into any problems in the future. Overall, I'm obsessed! It's gorgeous, functional, and a great value! Highly recommend!

Love my new blanket! It fits perfectly on my bed and looks delightful. It’s made well, the material is lightweight. Sleeping with it gave a cozy warm feeling. Definitely worth the money. Definitely worth treating myself buying it!

Soft and fluffy after a wash & dry
Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70"), Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Perfect, lightweight and warm. I got this for a chaise that I use. It’s not thick, but enough to keep you warm and cozy if you’re just reading and relaxing. I washed it and dried it as soon as I took it out of the box. It fluffed out perfectly, so don’t be fooled by the flattened squishy blanket that arrives. It doesn’t shed, which is a bonus.
