Great suggestions! I'd also recommend 'Lessons in Stoicism' by John Sellars, who is an indispensable guide - scholarly but not trying to impart all his knowledge.
Yes definitely recommend Lessons in Stoicism! Such a short, comprehensive, and well written intro to the topic. Have given away well over a dozen copies of it
I would add that Greg Sadler’s You Tube videos are a great place to learn Stoicism if you are not an enthusiastic reader (I am a very enthusiastic reader) but Greg can untangle complex concepts in an understandable and fun manner.

Thanks. I'll have to check it out.
A great little book

I'll add to this recommendation. Read inconjunction with Meditations.
Glad you included Hadot and Farnsworth on this list. Both add depth to Stoicism.

Lessons in Stoicism
Ryan Holiday has a great book on the lives of Stoics that has practical advise. But his other works are a bit monotonous.
