As an atheist, Seneca's Moral letters to Lucilius is my bible. My compass when life gets hard.

It's excellent for those of us who aren't atheists, too. I've picked up the recent University of Chicago translation of these, and cultivated the habit of reading a letter or two every morning with my coffee. It's an excellent use of time.

I also found Seneca's "On the Shortness of Life" completely recalibrated my thinking about the passage of time and how I spend the time allotted me.
