In this book, Massimo Pigliucci shares with readers his personal journey through which he discovered the power of Stoic thinking. His mentor on this journey is one of the greatest Stoic teachers, Epictetus.
The author offers us both an accessible guide to Stoic philosophy and practical spiritual exercises. The Stoics advise us on how to achieve inner peace through the rational control of our impulses.
As human nature has not changed over time, their advice remains relevant, particularly in today’s world of fluidity and uncertainty. If we understand Stoicism, we can answer critical questions about our lives, handle the difficulties, sorrows, and disappointments we inevitably encounter, and thoughtfully seek happiness.
No matter what issue concerns us, Stoicism has something to say. The book belongs to the series of philosophical texts "Contemplative Life," directed by Charidimos K. Tsoukas.
