Any good resources for the original sense?

  Little to none of his work has survived intact, so what we know is mostly through other people. IIRC, a lot comes from Seneca and Marcus Aurelius's auto biography "meditations". Searching around on Seneca, his letters on the topic have been collected in a book "Letters from a Stoic"

  I recommend "A Guide to the Good Life" by William Irvine. The title is a bit off-putting, but it gives a good survey of the philosophy and history of stoicism along with good examples of applying it to modern life. After reading it, you might have a better sense of which primary sources will be most relevant to what you're looking for.
