Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

0/5 ( ratings)

FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHORS OF 'THE DAILY STOIC' COMES AN INSPIRING GUIDE TO THE LIVES OF THE STOICS, AND WHAT THE ANCIENTS CAN TEACH US ABOUT HAPPINESS, SUCCESS, RESILIENCE AND VIRTUE.

Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the 'Stoa Poikile' of Athens. Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire.

'LIVES OF THE STOICS' is more than a mere history book, every example, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius - slaves to emperors - is designed to help the reader/listener apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any listener/reader in search of inspiration from the past.
