Summary
Letters from a Stoic: Find Inner Peace and Purpose
Seeing self-possession as the key to an existence lived ‘in accordance with nature’, the Stoic philosophy called for the restraint of animal instincts and the importance of upright ethical ideals and virtuous living. Seneca’s writings are a profound, powerfully moving and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.

About The Author
Robin Campbell
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c.4BC - AD65) was born in Spain but was raised according to the traditional values of the republic of Rome. In AD48 he became tutor to the future emperor Nero and became his principal civil advisor when he took power. His death was eventually ordered by Nero in AD65, but Seneca anticipated the emperor’s decree and committed suicide.
