What aspects of your daily life do you really control? What now ? when you are unable to guarantee that points will turn out in your favour? And what can Stoicism train us about how exactly to live jointly?

In the past few years, Stoicism has been making a comeback. But just what do the Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars weaves collectively the key tips of the three great Roman Stoics – Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius – with snapshots of their about Lessons in Stoicism: What Old Philosophers Teach Us about how exactly to Live exciting lives, showing us how their tips might help us today.

In vivid prose, Sellars shows how the functions of these three Stoics have inspired readers since, speaking as they do to some of the perennial conditions that face anyone aiming to navigate their way through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how exactly to live – how exactly to understand one’s place in the world, how to deal when issues don’t move well, how to manage one’s emotions and how exactly to behave towards others.

Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a deeply thoughtful direct to the philosophy of a valuable life.
