A great introduction is "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" by Irvine http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/0195374614

  Actually in my opinion: No. Read the original texts. The book from Irvine gives you a different impression of stoicism. It has some "self-help with stoic touch" feel that I just don't feel comfortable with. Read some historic context and the original texts. The original texts are quite accessible.
