LESSONS IN STOICISM - JOHN SELLARS KARTONIERT (TB)

'Excellent. . . Sellars gives a lucid  easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life
amounts to  and how you might start to put it into practice' Nigel Warburton How can Stoicism
inspire us to lead more enjoyable lives? In the past few years  Stoicism has been making a
comeback. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism  philosopher John
Sellars weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics -- Seneca  Epictetus and
Marcus Aurelius -- with snapshots of their fascinating lives  to show us how their ideas can
help us today. In vivid prose  Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have inspired
readers ever since  speaking as they do to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying
to navigate their way through life. Their works  fundamentally  are about how to live -- how to
understand one's place in the world  how to cope when things don't go well  how to manage one's
emotions and how to behave towards others. Consoling and inspiring  Lessons in Stoicism is a
deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a good life.
