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 Senecas classic works in a series of focused chapters, clearly explaining Senecas ideas without oversimplifying them. Best enjoyed as a daily ritual, like an energising cup of coffee, Senecas wisdom provides us with a steady stream of time-tested advice about the human conditionwhich, as it turns out, hasnt changed much over the past two thousand years.
