Brought to you by Penguin.

Learn how to survive life's hardships and enjoy its pleasures with the modern stoic mindset.

In this enlightening book, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers a thoughtful and modern reinterpretation of Epictetus' 53 lessons for living a good life. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Stoics, this is a comforting guide that will help you reclaim the power of your emotional response and let go of the things you can't control.

Whilst I think this is an incredibly hard way to live, the authors modern interpretation of stoic principles at the end helped modernise the beliefs.

An interesting approach to living
