Sinopsis

SenecaâÇÖs On a Happy Life - written almost 2000 years ago for his older brother - is an engrossingácompendium of timeless Stoic wisdom.áThe PhilosopherâÇÖsáadvice covers all aspects of human existence, and includes avoiding intense emotions, desires and fears, and rejecting âÇÖgroup-thinkâÇÖ or mindlessly following social trends.áRather than seeking a transitory 'happiness' in things and events, we should aspire to inner contentment and peace of mind via the practice of justice and virtue, so that we may live the kind of life we can look back on and not feel ashamed.These are values and morals that ring as true today as two millennia ago.áThey are lessons that will benefit anyone regardless of age, wealth, gender or social position.áA fascinating, and very practical, insight into the world-view of historyâÇÖs most famous Stoic.áááááááááááá'The more eagerly a man struggles to reach happiness, ááááááááááááthe further he departs along the wrong road,áand since ááááááááááááthis track leads in the opposite direction, his very swiftness áááááááááááácarries him all the further from his goal.' áááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááLucius Annaeus Seneca
