Stoicism the most influential philosophy of the Roman Empire offers refreshingly modern ways
to strengthen our inner character in the face of an unpredictable world. Widely recognised as
the most talented and humane writer of the Stoic tradition Seneca teaches us to live with
freedom and purpose. His most enduring work over a hundred Letters from a Stoic written to a
close friend explains how to handle adversity overcome grief anxiety and anger transform
setbacks into opportunities for growth and recognise the true nature of friendship. In
Breakfast with Seneca philosopher David Fideler mines Seneca's classic works in a series of
focused chapters clearly explaining Seneca's ideas without oversimplifying them. Best enjoyed
as a daily ritual like an energising cup of coffee Seneca's wisdom provides us with a steady
stream of time-tested advice about the human condition-which as it turns out hasn't changed
much over the past two thousand years.
