OverviewHow do you deal successfully with personal dilemmas and challenges to make the best of your life? How do you achieve peace of mind and happiness? What is the practical code of behaviour to live by - for the benefit of yourself and of others? These questions were addressed by Stoic thinkers more than 2000 years ago. Their answers are just as valid today as they were then. As well, their guidelines may point the way to the next phrase in the evolution of the rational human being. In easy to understand language, The Stoic Homilies present a modern interpretation of Stoic advice on 52 different fundamental questions or issues concerning personal conduct. The author, Ray Cooper, has drawn on the recorded thoughts of three great Roman Stoics - the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the statesman and writer Seneca, and the ex-slave Epictetus - to distill the essence of this ancient wisdom in the form of homilies from an imaginary modern stoic teacher. The result is deeply rewarding reading for anyone who desires to fulfil their potential as a unique and valuable human being.
