The
Stoic Art of Living
Inner Resilience and Outer Results
Tom
Morris
Tom Morris
is the former Notre Dame philosophy professor whose classes became a
campus legend and whose nationwide speaking engagements have
electrified the audiences of corporate America. Continuing in his
mission to bring philosophical wisdom into the trenches of everyday
life, he shows how ideas of Stoic Philosophy — which emphasizes
goals like gaining command of one's passions and achieving
indifference to pain and distress — are completely up to date in
their relevance to the practical issues people confront in the 21st
century.
Divided into three accessible sections, the book focuses on three
leading Stoics: the slave Epictetus, the lawyer Seneca, and the
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. From the bottom of society to the
upwardly mobile middle to society's very top, the book highlights
how these Stoics' insights relate to modern experience. Philosophy
buffs and fans of Morris's other works will appreciate this latest
application of ancient wisdom to new concerns. |
