How To Be A Stoic

How can we cope when life’s events feel beyond our control? Drawing on the timeless wisdom of the three great Stoic philosophers—Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius—these words of consolation and inspiration offer guidance on facing adversity and living well in the world. Throughout history, certain books have changed the course of human thought: they have transformed how we see ourselves and others, sparked debate, dissent, war, and revolution, and have enlightened, provoked, comforted, and challenged us. Now, Penguin presents a new collection in the acclaimed Great Ideas series, a curated library of selections from the works of the thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries whose ideas shaped civilization and continue to influence who we are today.
