I've read a couple books recently that discuss practical applications of stoic principles (Brigid Delaney's Reasons Not to Worry and Jenny Odell's How to Do Nothing) and they're essentially the only things helping me stave of existential dread and despair. Breakfast with Seneca (David Fideler) is also already on my TBR.
Does anyone have suggestions for other similar books? They could also be about Eastern philosophies or anything else that helps provide perspective and detachment from anxious thought (I'm a US based grant funded researcher in education, so this is an extremely anxious time for me). Either non-fiction or fiction is great.

*Man’s Search for Meaning* by Viktor Frankl
The Daily Stoic and The Obstacle is the Way are both by Ryan Holiday and good books on stoicism. The Daily Stoic has short digestible snippets for every day of the year. The Obstacle is the Way is a practical introduction to stoicism.
