Reasons Not to Worry: How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Author: Delaney, Brigid

Publisher: Harper

Date Published: 10-2023

ISBN: 0063314827 | EAN: 9780063314825

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Price on Product | Pages: 304

Annotation: "Like many people today, Brigid Delaney was searching for answers to timeless questions: How can we be good? Find inner peace? Properly grieve? Tame our insecurities, such as the fear of missing out? Determine what truly matters? Centuries ago, the Stoics pondered many of these same questions. And so, at an important inflection point in her own life, Brigid decided to let these ancient philosophers be her guide. Brigid is rash where the Stoics are logical; she runs on chaos, while the Stoics relinquish control of things beyond their reach. Over the course of a year, she dedicated herself to following the wisdom of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. She hoped to discover how best to live, how she could use the wisdom of these ancient thinkers to navigate life in the modern world. Here, Brigid shares what she learned, showing us how we, too, can draw on the Stoics to regain a sense of agency and tranquility and find meaning in our lives. From learning to relinquish control to cultivating daily awareness of our mortality to building community, Brigid's insights are very funny and very wise."--

Complete Works: Handbook, Discourses, and Fragments

BasicBinding: Paperback

Publisher: University of Chicago Press

Date Published: 10-2022

ISBN: 022676947X | EAN: 9780226769479

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product, Illustrated, Maps | Pages: 480

Annotation: "One of the most important Stoic philosophers is Epictetus. Epictetus (c. 50 - 135 CE) was a Greek enslaved person who established an important school of Stoic philosophy in Rome. Epictetus is appreciated for his clear, good-humored way of explaining difficult ideas and his focus on daily life rather than metaphysics. This may be because he did not write down his lectures and discourses, as Marcus and Seneca did-rather, he delivered them aloud and they were carefully recorded by his students. Thus we should not refer to them as "writings" but as "works." The complete oeuvre consists of his popular handbook on virtue (enchiridion), also known as "The Art of Living," a set of discourses, and a number of fragments. This set of translations, framed by an introduction and notes, is geared expressly to general readers and students, though it will be enormously helpful to scholars as well"--

How to Die: An Ancient Guide to the End of Life

ISBN: 0691175578 | EAN: 9780691175577

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Price on Product | Pages: 256

Annotation:

"James Romm takes us up close to death with Seneca for his guide. Don't be afraid, be prepared--be very prepared."--Mary Beard, author of SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome

"Beautifully translated by James Romm, Seneca speaks to us so directly about the fraught and difficult subject of death that we may find ourselves forgetting to breathe."--Francine Prose

"This well-chosen collection of Seneca's writings on death demonstrates James Romm's gift for making the people and ideas of antiquity vivid for general readers. The introduction is graceful, the translations are accurate and readable, the annotations are nicely judged, and the epilogue featuring Tacitus's account of Seneca's suicide is indispensable."--Robert A.
