Don't Worry, Be Stoic : Ancient Wisdom for Troubled Times Paperback / softback
by Peter J. Vernezze
Paperback / softback
Description
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."
