Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius Ryan Holiday
The story of Stoicism is the story of triumph over adversity. From Zeno's conversion to philosophy in a bookshop in Athens after losing a fortune in business to the emperor Marcus Aurelius's overcoming obstacles and ill health, each of the twenty-six figures in this book was put to the test. For two thousand years, from Seneca to Epictetus, the Stoics have been teaching us on the battlefield, in business, in politics, and at home by both word and deed. This book has one aim: to inspire you with the Stoics' greatness and to warn you of their mistakes, so that philosophy might turn you into the kind of person your were always meant to be. Book and cover are in great shape. A few pages have corner creases.
