Stoicism
Good, basic books on Stoic philosophy. The focus here is on: a) a few writers who have interpreted Stoic philosophy for modern audiences, b) the surviving Greco-Roman texts, and c) a couple of biographies. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a good biography of Marcus Aurelius; let me know if you've found one! The links here all go to Goodreads and, for the ancient texts, to the translations/editions I recommend. By the way, not one of these books is in the Coquitlam Library system!

A good, accessible biography of the Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger, who had the unenviable job of being a teacher and advisor to the abominable Emperor Nero.
Cato wrote nothing about Stoicism, but he was considered by Romans to have lived the epitome of the Stoic life. A good modern biography showing both his admirable and his less admirable personal characteristics.
