Introduces the reader to Stoicism, a philosophy whose origin lies in ancient Greece. Through a series of short essays, this book furnishes readers with a foundation in Stoic thought as well as a system for applying it to their lives. It is useful to readers of various levels.
Does a 2,300-year-old wisdom system have anything to say to our current situation? Emphatically "yes!" argues Don''t Worry, Be Stoic: Ancient Wisdom for Troubled Times. This book introduces the reader to Stoicism- a philosophy whose origin lies in ancient Greece but whose relevance, as the reader will discover, 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, inspiring essays, Dr. 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, this practical book is "chicken soup for the philosopher''s soul."
