Summary

The first clear and faithful guide to the timeless, practical teachings of the Stoic philosopher Seneca.

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 Seneca's classic works in a series of focused chapters, clearly explaining Seneca's ideas without oversimplifying them. Best enjoyed as a daily ritual, like an energizing cup of coffee, Seneca's wisdom provides us with a steady stream of time-tested advice about the human condition - which, as it turns out, hasn't changed much over the past 2,000 years.

Classic good sense

Purchased the hardback for my 15 yr old nephew and thought I had better check it was fit for the purposes I'd intended it for, so bought the audio version for quick and easy listening. I am happy to confirm this is a delightful stroll through Seneca's teachings, touching on the rest of the (philosophy) band in support, and giving the letter number so you might find out more.

Fantastic, practical, relatable, concise breakdown of Stoic Philosophy. Great Narration also. Worth it's weight
