Description: Breakfast with Seneca by David Fideler The first clear and faithful guide to the timeless, practical teachings of the Stoic philosopher Seneca FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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 recognized 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 recognize 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 energizing cup of coffee, Senecas wisdom provides us with a steady stream of time-tested advice about the human condition-which, as it turns out, hasnt changed much over the past two thousand years. Author Biography David Fideler is a writer, philosopher, and the editor of the Stoic Insights website. Born in the United States, he currently lives in Sarajevo with his wife and son. Review "Reading Breakfast with Seneca is like sitting down for a good cup of coffee with a wise and compassionate friend." -- Eric Weiner, author of The Socrates Express"This book is the perfect antidote to the commercialism and superficial values of modern times. [Fideler] channels Seneca without distortion and makes him accessible to the twenty-first-century reader." -- Robin Waterfield, translator of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus"[A] great introduction to both Seneca and Stoicism and will even help those already familiar with these writings to gain more benefit from them." -- Donald Robertson, author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor"The most companionable of the new Stoic books." -- Molly Young - The New York Times"In Breakfast with Seneca [David Fideler] explains his habit of poring over the Roman philosopher with his morning coffee and omelette. Writing with charm and clarity, he argues that Senecas philosophy can help us live a happy, flourishing life." -- Emily Thomas - The Times Literary Supplement Review Quote "Youll feel as if youre joining David Fideler to breakfast with Seneca while discussing his philosophical letters. Its a great introduction to both Seneca and Stoicism and will even help those already familiar with these writings to gain more benefit from them."
