W. W. Norton & Company Breakfast with Seneca: A Stoic Guide to the Art of Living

I have read many Stoic books-including Seneca. This is a good, practical summary of Seneca's philosophy. Rather than parsing through Seneca's letters, etc. this book is useful as a reference guide of Stoicism's main concepts and practical usage for calming and taming your mind. The overlap with Buddhism is clear-however, with some key differences. Spinoza overlaps as well. Good bedside reference for keeping your mind in order and assisting with difficult circumstance you will face in your life. Beware- Stoicism is definitely not for theists...

Such a unique look at Seneca's ideas. One of the books I keep coming back too over and over and always finding new treasures.

Nice book!

Incredible book. Explains in an understandable way stoicism, Seneca's way of thinking and many tips on how to deal with different emotions. David, amazing work!! Many thanks for such a book!

What a revelation! Mr Fideler describes Seneca’s works in an easy readable manner. Perfect for reading end to end or dipping in and out of. Recommended!
