TAO OF STO, STO TE CHING is a seasonal daily reader pairing Stoic wisdom with passages from the Tao Te Ching and spare, evocative illustrations by Gabriel Gigliotti. The pages are shaped by Robert Van Horne’s minimalist design, giving each fragment room to breathe and letting silence do some of the teaching.

Each day offers one Stoic and one Taoist quote—no commentary, no analysis. Just two ancient truths meeting on the page, with an image adding its own quiet mystery to the mix.

Volume 1: Winter begins the journey, offering ninety days of contemplation across January, February, and March. Like winter itself—a season of turning inward, of stillness before renewal—this volume explores foundational practices: seeing clearly, cultivating discipline, and learning to flow with what is.
