I actually use the Daily Stoic (the book) as a sort of journal prompt generator. It has been really great to look at various things in my life from a different lens.
That said, I also read the source material (via translations, obviously) because I think a big part of the appeal is being able to interpret what is relevant to the individual reading the material. Read it, understand it, find what resonates, learn to apply it to your life in a sustainable way.
Is _everything_ in stoicism for me? Nope, as someone else mentioned in another comment, as someone who is not religious in any way shape or form, those particular bits don't apply, and therefore I substitute in something logical for my beliefs.
So far, stoicism has been very helpful and at the very least extremely interesting.
