Stoic Classics Collection: Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, Epictetus’s Enchiridion, Seneca’s On a Happy Life, On the Shortness of Life & On Providence

Great book if you are looking for original source material

This book provides just the translated texts, with no introductions or notes to explain classical references to gods, political leaders, historic events, etc. So you’ll have to rely on Wikipedia or other Internet resources for exploring background details. The diction is rather archaic, but easy to follow if you’re used to reading old texts. Example: “Wilt thou then, my soul, never be good and simple…?”

Nothing in philosophy comes near Stoicism. Stoicism is pure distilled human thought. Every line of these master thinkers will affect you profoundly. Read and re-read this book til it becomes a part of your DNA. In this crazy world, this book is an oasis of tranquility and peace. Highly recommend it.

Very light, good book, comfortable to take wherever you go. Eye-friendly shrifts and quality paper. Will not comment on the book itself as it comprises works of some of the greatest philosophers.

One of my favorite books
