Letters from a Stoic - Seneca

Letters from a Stoic – Seneca

Letters from a Stoic by Seneca brings together timeless reflections from one of ancient Rome's most influential philosophers, translated into English by Richard M. Gummere.

Written as letters to Lucilius, Seneca's observations explore how to live with wisdom, discipline and purpose while facing uncertainty, loss, ambition and the pressures of everyday life.

His Stoic philosophy focuses on virtue, self-control, resilience and the importance of distinguishing between what we can and cannot control. Despite their ancient origins, the ideas remain remarkably relevant to modern readers.

Accessible, thoughtful and practical, Letters from a Stoic is an excellent introduction to Stoicism as well as a rewarding classic for readers returning to ancient philosophy.
