One sourced quote and one 3-minute idea a day. No paywall, no walls of text.
Stoaly is daily philosophy in three minutes: one quote from a great thinker and one short idea, written in plain paragraphs.
Every quote shows where it comes from: the work, the book or chapter, and the translator. Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, Seneca's Letters to Lucilius, Epictetus, Confucius, Laozi, the Buddha, Montaigne, Mary Wollstonecraft, Thoreau and more. No made-up internet quotes.
WHAT YOU GET EVERY DAY
• Today's quote: a sourced line to carry through the day
• Today's idea: one concept in three short paragraphs, plus one thing to try today
• Morning intention: one question before the day starts ("What is in your control today?")
• Evening review: the Stoic habit of looking back on the day, in a few lines
A LIBRARY THAT IS EASY TO READ
• 36 thinkers, ancient to 20th century, including women and non-Western philosophers: Hypatia, Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Nagarjuna, Ibn Rushd
