I've been slowly picking away at it, but it was left behind for me after a person I cared about ended their life so I've got reasons.

Thanks, this serves as a reminder that I really should get around to reading some of the writings of the stoics more directly. I've only really read some summaries, excerpts, and the odd quote here or there till now. 😅
I really enjoyed How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question by Michael Schur. It’s funny and accessible, perfect for beginners looking into ethics (I’m not well versed in philosophy at all, ha ha!). It doesn’t go into a lot of depth, but it’s got a lot of good info and jumping off points for further reading. Definitely recommend if you’re a fan of The Good Place!
I did enjoy The Good Place, so this might be a fun read and maybe a pointer to some other texts for more detail, so thanks!
I'd recommend The Bhagavad Gita. You don't have to be of the Hindu faith to get something out of it, it's enough just to see it as a different way to view things.
My favorite translation is by Ranchor Prime, because his version is organized into parables instead of a line-by-line analysis, but there is also a nice public domain version at Project Gutenberg, HERE.
