Having been sampling Stoicism books over the last few years, here’s three I personally found most useful/applicable:
Think Like A Stoic: Ancient Wisdom for Today’s World by Massimo Pigliucci - thorough but easy to digest introduction. Part of the Great Courses series, so each topic is in handy 25-ish minute chunks, making them easy to revisit when a refresher is needed.
Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In by Kai Whiting and Leonidas Konstantakos - excellent and practical examination of the pro-social nature of stoicism, often overlooked on a superficial reading (or deliberately ignored by people wanting to use stoicism as an excuse to be selfish).
Reasons Not to Worry: How to be Stoic in Chaotic Times by Brigid Delaney - relatable chronicle of her own stoic journey and grappling with some of the harder to grasp components.
Bonus: not a Stoicism book, but since an under-appreciated aspect of capital-S Stoicism (vs common parlance of being stoic) is that positive emotions are A-OK, The Book of Delights by Ross Gay - little essays practising finding delight every day.
Extra Bonus! My favourite Stoicism Podcast - the What is Stoicism Podcast (good weekly dose, and the host has a nice voice :)
@wendypalmer @bookstodon I like Massimo Pigliucci and some of the Stoics such as Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, but frankly Stoicism just isn't for me.
But the one philolsopher I found to most useful for evoking wisdom in myself and others, is Gui Gu Zi. He deserves to be more well known. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332719889_GUI_GUZI_Mr_GuiGu
