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 talented and humane writer of the Stoic tradition, Seneca teaches us to live with freedom and purpose. His most enduring work, over a hundred "Letters from a Stoic" written to a close friend, explains how to handle adversity; overcome grief, anxiety, and anger; transform setbacks into opportunities for growth; and recognize the true nature of friendship. In Breakfast with Seneca, philosopher David Fideler mines Seneca's classic works in a series of focused chapters, clearly explaining 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, as it turns out, hasn't changed much over the past two thousand years"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, $d approximately 4 B.C.-65 A.D. 650 0 $a Stoics. 650 0 $a Ethics. 650 0 $a Philosophy, Ancient. 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041638.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012436.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20220105011025.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211211010051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC3248BE5A4F11EC99DF29881FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
