Andrea Kirk Assaf

Andrea Kirk Assaf is a Canadian-American author, editor and writer of accessible wisdom books. Her works include 365 Lessons from the Stoics, a daily reader collecting the teachings of the Roman Stoics with commentary, and companion volumes on the wisdom of the world's traditions.

Assaf writes for a general mindful-readership audience — daily meditations, aphorisms and brief biographies — turning ancient philosophy into modern practice. A journalist by trade, she has lived in the Middle East and writes on spirituality, and her 365-day format has become a fixture of the modern Stoicism book boom.
