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.
