Readers who enter upon this practical course in the Stoic art of living
will learn how Stoic principles are linked to real life, and how to
enjoy the 'smooth flow of life' of the Stoic Sage who follows nature and
holds to virtue, finding fearlessness, inner peace, and freedom from
troubles. Readers will gain maximum advantage from the course if they
acquire copies of Seneca's Letters from a Stoic (Penguin Books), and the
Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (the Robin Hard translation from
Wordsworth Editions is recommended). The text expands on a
correspondence course previously made available by the Stoic Foundation.
One student commented: 'I believe this course has changed my life, and I
cannot thank you enough' - DN, Australia. The book is illustrated with
pen and ink drawings.
