The Meditations by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and The Manual by Greek philosopher Epictetus who was born a slave, because that's where Alan Watts got this idea. They're short, easy reads, especially those Sam Torode translations, and they form the basis of Stoicism.
If you're not in a position to invest those few dollars, they're also available free from Project Gutenberg, although these older translations are often written in an older style of English like the King James Version of the Bible. The Meditations | The Enchiridion (alternate title for The Manual)
^(edited to add:)
>“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
— Marcus Aurelius
This one looks pretty cool. I'm debating on ordering it, has anyone read this translation?

It might be a different translation, but it's from Enchiridion 25.It'd be more true time say that it's most likely different from the version of The Enchiridion than some have read. The quote I pulled from is more of a rewording to suit a more modern understanding, from The Manual
