Details:

A practical guide through the teachings of Stoic philosopher Seneca for the good life.
Stoicism, the most influential philosophy of the Roman Empire, offers refreshingly modern ways to strengthen our inner character in the face of an unpredictable world. Widely recognized as the most gifted and humanistic writer in the Stoic tradition, Seneca teaches us to live with freedom and purpose. His more than one hundred “Letters from a Stoic” written to a close friend explain how to handle adversity; overcome pain, anxiety and anger; transform setbacks into growth opportunities; and recognize the true nature of friendship.
In The Art of Living Like a Stoic, philosopher David Fideler distills Seneca's classic works into a series of chapters and clearly explains Seneca's ideas without oversimplifying them. Best enjoyed as a daily ritual, like an energizing cup of coffee, Seneca's wisdom provides us with a steady stream of time-tested advice about the human condition, which hasn't changed much in the last two thousand years.
