The great insights of the Stoics are spread over a wide range of ancient sources. This book brings them all together for the first time. It systematically presents what the various Stoic philosophers said on every important topic, accompanied by an eloquent commentary that is clear and concise. The result is a set of philosophy lessons for everyoneโ€”the most valuable wisdom of ages past made available for our times, and for all time.

Reviews

โ€œAs befits a good Stoic, Farnsworthโ€™s expository prose exhibits both clarity and an unflappable calmโ€ฆThroughout The Practicing Stoic, Farnsworth beautifully integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and others. As a result, this isnโ€™t just a book to readโ€”itโ€™s a book to return to, a book that will provide perspective and consolation at times of heartbreak or calamity.โ€
