Peter J. Vernezze

Don't Worry, Be Stoic

Ancient Wisdom for Troubled Times

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book introduces the reader to Stoicism- a philosophy whose origin lies in ancient Greece but whose relevance, as the reader will discover, has only grown with time. Through a series of short, inspiring essays, Dr. Vernezze furnishes readers with a foundation in Stoic thought as well as a system for applying it to their lives. For readers of all levels, this practical book is 'chicken soup for the philosopher's soul.'
