Book recommendation on stoicism to weather the personal storm !
Hi everyone ! I'm an absolute beginner and am going to start reading about stoicism to help me deal with a difficult situation. Please recommend a book so i can weather the storm !
My situation:
I'm a masters student in India who will be graduating in July 2026. Despite giving many interviews, I still haven't been able to secure a job. The last two years have been super crazy. I have been diagnosed with two diseases as a result performed poor in all academic aspects.
I have seen people who did not study as much as me, getting very well paying jobs. I feel life is very unfair to me and as a result I am becoming bitter. I am constantly comparing and becoming very jealous.
Currently, the job market for new grads is very very bad in India. Getting a job is very very difficult here now. I feel scared about what I am going to go through in the coming months. I am afraid the misery and the stress I will undergo.
My request:
Kindly recommend me a beginner's book which will help me accept my illness, the unfairness of life and the upcoming situation calmly ! I want to make the best out of this situation and come out unscathed !
Also wish me luck guys !
TLDR:
Recommend me a book on stoicism so I can deal with illnesses, unemployment, bitterness and a potentially scary future !
