Author
Ryan Holiday is a talented young guy -- he is a business strategist who was mentored by Robert Green, author of The 48 Laws of Power. He's not a PhD in philosophy, but he's written and helped author other best sellers. While Ryan isn't an academic and he has many other serious interests, he does represent Stoicism very well. His network with leaders in several industries brought his natural talent and hard work into the spotlight.
Benefit
This book is inferior to Ryan's other books - it's just what the title says - daily quotes from Stoics with a very short explanation. Perhaps better for the soul than most Christian devotionals.
