…think it takes a very profound (and by no means simple or obvious) set of ideas and reduces it to a kind of intellectual fad diet. For something weightier, you might look at the works of Pierre Hadot (Philosophy as a Way of Life and What is Ancient Philosophy?), both of which contain excellent discussions of stoicism.
I only read non-fiction; mostly philosophy. Here are some books off the top of my head: * The Inner Citadel/Philosophy as a Way of Life by Pierre Hadot * Plato's dialogues (someone already mentioned a few of them, but the Republic was missing from their list). * Epictetus (Discourses and Enchiridion) * The various essays/letters of…
…propositional structure of that text is more or less a smokescreen--W., like Socrates, like Nietzsche, presents a mask--remove the numbers, re-title it "Aphorisms"--has anything changed? Hadot's book, Philosophy as a Way of Life is a great study on this shift from philosophy as lived, therapeutic practice to philosophy as a primarily textual, abstract, academic profession--and like all professions, limited by exterior considerations.
I quite liked "Philosophy as a Way of Life: Spiritual Exercises from Socrates to Foucault" by Hadot http://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Way-Life-Spiritual-Exercise...
If you like Stoicism you should try Pierre Hadot's What is Ancient Philosophy and at least the main essay from Philosophy as a Way of Life. He's an excellent writer and you can get other useful perspectives from the other ancient schools. The Epicurean take on pleasure (absence from pain) is helpful as well as the ancient skeptical practice…
Giving a short list of recommendations feels a little silly because it's so personal and contingent what will work for you at this moment. However, I'll make one concrete recommendation: Philosophy as a Way of Life by Pierre Hadot. It's about the ancient Greeks and the Stoics and the particular ways they saw thinking as bound up with living. It's a serious book but beautifully written. It is discussed more at length…
……觉得它把一套极其深刻（而且绝不简单或显而易见）的思想体系，降维成了一种知识分子式的“网红轻食餐”。如果想读点更有分量的东西，你可以去看看皮埃尔·阿多的作品（《作为生活方式的哲学》和《什么是古代哲学？》），这两本书对斯多葛主义的探讨都极其出色。

我只看非虚构类书籍，主要是哲学。随便说几本我立马能想到的：* 皮埃尔·阿多的《内省城堡》/《作为生活方式的哲学》* 柏拉图对话录（有人已经提过其中几篇了，但他们的书单里漏掉了《理想国》）* 爱比克泰德（《语录》和《手册》）* 各种散文/书信……

……那部文本的命题式结构或多或少只是个烟雾弹——维特根斯坦就像苏格拉底、像尼采一样，戴着一副面具——把那些编号去掉，改名叫“格言集”——会有任何改变吗？阿多的《作为生活方式的哲学》是一部极佳的研究著作，探讨了哲学如何从一种活生生的、具有疗愈作用的实践，转变为一种主要依赖文本、抽象且学院化的职业——而就像所有职业一样，它受到了外部考量的局限。

我很喜欢阿多写的《作为生活方式的哲学：从苏格拉底到福柯的精神修炼》http://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Way-Life-Spiritual-Exercise...

如果你喜欢斯多葛学派，真应该读读皮埃尔·阿多的《什么是古代哲学？》，至少也该读读《作为生活方式的哲学》里那篇核心文章。他文笔极好，你还能从中了解到其他古代学派的有益视角。伊壁鸠鲁学派关于快乐的观点（免除痛苦）很有启发性，古代怀疑派的实践也同样……

列一个简短的推荐书单感觉有点傻，因为此时此刻什么书能对你起作用，是非常个人且充满偶然性的。不过，我还是给一个具体的推荐：皮埃尔·阿多的《作为生活方式的哲学》。这本书讲的是古希腊人和斯多葛学派，以及他们如何将思考与生活紧密交织在一起的独特方式。这是一本严肃的书，但文笔优美。书中更详细地探讨了……
