Description: Introduces the reader to Stoicism--a philosophy whose origin lies in ancient Greece but whose relevance has only grown with time. Rather than provide a merely historical treatment of the system, the author demonstrates how the writings of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca provide principles for a sane and satisfying existence today. Through a series of short essays, Vernezze furnishes readers with a foundation in Stoic thought as well as a system for applying it to their lives. For readers of all levels
Notes: Includes bibliographical references ([p. 113]-117) and index
