'Letters from a Stoic' is a sage read as the world faces the coronavirus challenge. Never have hope without leaving room for despair; never have despair without making room for hope. The sensible advice helps you embrace the reality of life.

Love Seneca’s letters. Unimpressed with this Penguin edition - some key letters have not been included (eg: XXXIII about fear has been excluded) and some of the letters have been truncated. Whilst I understand this for the sake of brevity it’s be nice to have that in the cover (ie: SELECTED letters....).

it was a collection of ideas in the perspective of stoicism. it was interesting and quite intriguing. as i am already familiar with some, i guess i was not very surprised about their proposed ideas about the meaning of life and such. i didn’t agree 100% about its ideas, tho, i would say i agree with most. it was a fun read!
