Full Title:

The Tao of Seneca: Practical Letters from a Stoic Master, Volume 2

Synopsis:

Volume 2 of The Tao of Seneca continues the collection of moral letters from Seneca to Lucilius, with a strong focus on self-mastery, the shortness of life, and the value of choosing friends carefully. The letters offer practical advice for staying clear-headed in the busy world of work and public life. This volume also features updated commentary that explains ancient Stoic practices, like Premeditatio Malorum (the pre-meditation of evils), and turns them into useful steps for today’s leaders to build emotional strength and make ethical choices.
