How Stoicism Can Inspire Us to Truly Enjoy Life

Which areas of our lives do we really control? What do we do when situations do not unfold in our favor? And what can Stoicism teach us about coexisting with those around us?
In recent years, Stoicism has come back into the spotlight. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? In the book "The Art of the Stoics," Philosophy lecturer John Sellars presents the core ideas of the three great Roman Stoics - Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius - through events from their lives and references to their work. With vivid language, Sellars demonstrates how the work of these three Stoics has inspired readers for hundreds of years, as it addresses many of the issues we all face in our lives even today. A book that shows us how we should live, how to understand our fellow human beings, how to endure the inevitable difficulties of life, how to manage our emotions, and how to treat others.
