Presented in twelve lessons, Ward Farnsworth systematically presents the heart of Stoic philosophy accompanied by commentary that is clear and concise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA foundational idea to Stoicism is that we appear to go through life reacting directly to events. That appearance is an illusion. We react to our judgments and opinions  to our thoughts about things, not to things themselves. Stoics seek to become conscious of those judgments, to find the irrationality in them, and to choose them more carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn chapters including Emotion, Adversity, Virtue, and What Others Think, here is the most valuable wisdom about living a good life from ages past  now made available for our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Farnsworth beautifully integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Montaigne and others. This isn't just a book to read  it's a book to return to, a book that will provide perspective and consolation at times of heartbreak or calamity.'
