The School for a New Stoicism produces an occasional series of e-books at Figs in Winter, the School’s Substack newsletter. Topics range from Stoicism and other Hellenistic philosophies to interesting aspects of Greco-Roman history and culture. The series collects essays that are thematically related and, we think, interesting and useful. The top entries are the most recent ones.

- A Short Guide to The Inner Citadel (~13,400 words), on Pierre Hadot’s classic analysis of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations
