A deeply comforting and enlightening book on how Stoicism can
inspire us to lead more enjoyable lives What aspects of your life
do you really control? What do you do when you cannot guarantee
that things will turn out in your favour? And what can Stoicism
teach us about how to live together? In the past few years,
Stoicism has been making a comeback. But what exactly did the
Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars
weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics --
Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius -- with snapshots of their
fascinating lives, to show us how their ideas can help us today. In
vivid prose, Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have
inspired readers ever since, speaking as they do to some of the
perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way
through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how to live --
how to understand one's place in the world, how to cope when things
don't go well, how to manage one's emotions and how to behave
towards others. Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a
deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a good life.
