"The body of ideas known as Stoicism contains some of the finest and most durable wisdom of any age. The Stoics of classical times were deep students of desire, fear, status, emotion, and much else that bedeviled the human race thousands of years ago and bedevils it now. They were philosophers of a down-to-earth variety, seeking by force of their insights to free ordinary people from their sufferings and illusions. Their councils are as interesting and useful today as when first written. The most helpful advice that anyone offers nowadays is usually something the Stoics said with greater economy and wit twenty centuries ago. [] The insights of the Stoics have long been hard to see as a whole because they are spread over a wide range of sources that are two thousand years old. This book brings the most practical and valuable of those teachings together in one place, with an organization and commentary that makes their meaning and relevance clear for our times. The result is a course on the art of living taught by the foremost ancient masters of the subject." [jacket copy] "An extraordinary book. THE PRACTICING STOIC provides enough richness to power a hundred years of seminars, combined with a framework of organization and interpretation that makes the subject clear and accessible. Worth much more than its weight in gold."--Mark Helprin. "This sturdy and engaging introductory text consists mostly of excerpts from the ancient Greek and Roman Stoic philosophers, especially Seneca, Epictetus through his student Arrian, and Marcus Aurelius as well as that trio's philosophical confreres, from the earlier Hellenic Stoics and Cicero to such contemporaries as Plutarch to moderns, including Montaigne, Adam Smith, and Schopenhauer. . . A philosophy to live by, Stoicism may remind many of Buddhism and Quakerism, for it asks of practitioners something very similar to what those disciplines call mindfulness."--Booklist. "This is a book any thoughtful person will be glad to have along as a companion for an extended weekend or, indeed, for that protracted journey we call life."--The New Criterion. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket. Quite presentable.…
