Seneca: Letters from a Stoic (and Biography) [Annotated]

“In the last three years, I’ve begun to explore one philosophical system in particular: Stoicism. Through my preferred Stoic writer, Lucius Seneca, I’ve found it to be a simple and immensely practical set of rules for better results with less effort.” Timothy Ferriss, author of Four Hour Workweek (4HWW).

Stoicism is a philosophical system often used by successful entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes, which focuses on self possession, emotional control, and humility. “It sets out to remind us of how unpredictable the world can be. How brief our moment of life is. How to be steadfast, and strong, and in control of yourself. And finally, that the source of our dissatisfaction lies in our impulsive dependency on our reflexive senses rather than logic.” –Ryan Holiday
