Tao of Seneca (Volume One): Practical Letters from a Stoic Master (Mortal Letters to Lucilius)
$47.33
Seneca was a prominent Roman philosopher and playwright who published several essential works about Stoicism. He is considered one of the three key Stoic philosophers (alongside Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus), counseled Emperor Nero, and is often credited with rendering Stoicism more accessible to a larger audience than his counterparts.
In basic terms, Stoicism teaches us that if we have the essentials and a strong inner spirit, we can radically accept and endure whatever circumstances the universe throws at us. Letters from a Stoic, which Seneca wrote toward the end of his life from approximately 63 AD to 65 AD, expands upon these lessons.
Letters from a Stoic is a collection of 124 letters Seneca sent to his friend Lucilius – then the procurator of Sicily (essentially an official in Ancient Rome) — advising him on how to become a better Stoic.
The Tao of Seneca, Volume One contains the first 64 letters, interludes from modern stoics, and key lessons about Stoicism, such as being content with “enough,” developing our inner selves, and friendship.
