The Enchiridion by Epictetus

The Enchiridion by Epictetus

Epictetus was born a slave and taught philosophy after being freed. He wrote nothing; this handbook was compiled by a student, and it is the most concentrated statement of Stoicism that exists.

It opens with the division that everything else follows from: some things are in our power and some are not, and nearly all human misery comes from confusing the two. What follows is fifty-three short sections on desire, grief, other people's opinions, and how to behave when what you love is taken away — written as instructions rather than argument.

Under fifty pages, and the book Marcus Aurelius was reading. The best place to start with Stoicism.
