Stoicism, the most influential philosophy of the Roman Empire, offers refreshingly modern ways to strengthen our inner character in the face of an unpredictable world. Widely recognised as the most talented and humane writer of the Stoic tradition, Seneca teaches us to live with freedom and purpose. His most enduring work, over a hundred "Letters from a Stoic" written to a close friend, explains how to handle adversity; overcome grief, anxiety and anger; transform setbacks into opportunities for growth and recognise the true nature of friendship. In Breakfast with Seneca, philosopher David Fideler mines Seneca's classic works in a series of focused chapters, clearly explaining Seneca's ideas without oversimplifying them. Best enjoyed as a daily ritual, like an energising cup of coffee, Seneca's wisdom provides us with a steady stream of time-tested advice about the human condition-which, as it turns out, hasn't changed much over the past two thousand years.

Simple, logical encapsulation of Stoic principles. Not a collection of direct writings but a survey of the principles postulated by Roman Stoic philosophers. Fideler links Stoic concepts to their modern psychological equivalents which are instantly recognizable. A lot of overlap between Buddhism, Taoism, and Stoicism - how to perceive reality objectively, maintaining a certain level of detachment, differentiating between status and worth. Good bedtime reading; a few pages a night to settle down from the perplexities of the day.
