Many books deal with the concepts related to acknowledging and accepting the realities of life. A good place to start if you are interested in literature about the Stoic traditions of eudaimonia is 'Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium' by the first-century Lucius Annaeus Seneca, or Seneca the Younger as he is also known. The Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, wrote the widely read 'Meditations' which had a profound impact on later Western thinkers, notably John Stuart Mill and Goethe. 'The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are' offers a much more modern take on what it means to be accepting of oneself. Written by Brené Brown, it was first published in 2010. 'Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself' by Kristin Neff deals with many similar themes.
