I am currently in college, studying to attain a doctorate in History.  I was given a choice to write about the philosopher of my choosing, and when I stumbled across this book on Amazon, Seneca was chosen. I now believe that I was meant to read this book. Seneca followed the philosophy of Stoicism, which states that knowledge is the foundation of virtue and that the challenges and successes of daily life must be met with calmness. The author, Larry Berg, delves deep into, not only the philosophy of Stoicism, but also the events that shaped Seneca.  Berg’s detailed account of both Seneca, the man, and Seneca, the philosopher, provides the reader with a deeper understanding of Stoicism and its teachings. “The Best of Seneca the Stoic: Life Changing Lessons from the Famous Roman Stoic Philosopher”, truly is a book of life-changing revelations. I recommend this book to anyone searching for a deeper meaning of life.
