Seneca one of my favorite stoic philosophers says, in fact, that we must read like a spy in the enemy's camp. Seneca writes letters from a stoic. He's a stoic philosopher and yet the philosopher he quotes most in his letters is Epicurus - his rival right. He says "I will quote a bad author if the line is good".

Seneca's essay On Anger is worth reading and so is Agnes Callard's stuff on anger. I also like Taming the Tiger Within and there is an old AA book called You Can't Make Me Angry.

I'd probably go with Seneca, I'd read either letters of a stoic the Penguin Classics translation or I'd read his essay on the shortness of life.

It's awesome to see people reading Marcus Aurelius and Seneca and Epictetus and I feel like I am paying forward what was done for me.

And what makes you think that I am opposed to people reading Marcus Aurelius and Seneca? I have probably successful recommended the Stoics--in their original form--more than any other living person. It's not even a brag, I see the Amazon Affiliate receipts.
