The ancient Roman Stoic philosopher, Seneca, is recognised as the most talented and humane writer of the Stoic tradition。 He shaped the understanding of Stoic thought that later generations were to have and his writings are stunningly diverse in range and as relevant today as they were almost two thousand years ago。 An author who speaks very directly to modern concerns of shaping ourselves and our lives, Seneca advises how to live a good life whatever the circumstances。 Some of this entails: liv The ancient Roman Stoic philosopher, Seneca, is recognised as the most talented and humane writer of the Stoic tradition。 He shaped the understanding of Stoic thought that later generations were to have and his writings are stunningly diverse in range and as relevant today as they were almost two thousand years ago。 An author who speaks very directly to modern concerns of shaping ourselves and our lives, Seneca advises how to live a good life whatever the circumstances。 Some of this entails: living in agreement with nature; accepting virtue as the only true good; handling adversity; dealing with grief, anxiety and anger; living in the present moment; transforming setbacks into opportunities for growth, and recognising the true nature of friendship。David Fideler’s “Breakfast with Seneca” is a superb introduction to Stoicism, Stoic practice and Seneca。 With his fine writing and deep understanding, Fideler makes Seneca accessible to contemporary readers。 I’m delighted to have discovered this audiobook and I shall be purchasing a hardcover edition of the book to read and reread。 It’s a work of excellence and one of my favourite nonfiction books of 2021。 This book deserves a space in every thinking person’s bookcase。About the authorDavid Fideler is a writer, philosopher, and the editor of the Stoic Insights website。 Born in the United States, he currently lives in Sarajevo with his wife and son, where he still enjoys his breakfasts with Seneca。About the narratorPaul Heitsch is a fine narrator。 His performances are consistently cited for his authentic storytelling, realistic characters, and commitment to the text。 A huge thank you to @NetGalley and @ascentaudio for this advanced audiobook of “Breakfast with Seneca” by David Fideler。 。。。more
