the practicing stoic a philosophical user

We react to our judgments and opinions-to our thoughts about things, not to things themselves. Presented in twelve lessons, Ward Farnsworth systematically presents the heart of Stoic philosophy accompanied by commentary that is clear and concise.Ī foundational idea to Stoicism is that we appear to go through life reacting directly to events. See more clearly, live more wisely, and bear the burdens of this life with greater ease-here are the greatest insights of the Stoics, in their own words. This isn’t just a book to read-it’s a book to return to, a book that will provide perspective and consolation at times of heartbreak or calamity.”- The Washington Post “Farnsworth beautifully integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and others.
