Description
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, novelistThis sturdy
and engaging introductory text consists mostly of excerpts from the ancient Greek and Roman
Stoic philosophers, especially Seneca (4 BCE 65), Epictetus (c. 55 135) through his student
Arrian, and Marcus Aurelius (121 80) 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. --BooklistThroughout 'The Practicing Stoic,' Farnsworth beautifully
integrates his own observations with scores of quotations from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus
Aurelius, Montaigne and others. As a result, this isn't just a book to read, it's a book to return to, a
book that will provide perspective and consolation at times of heartbreak or calamity. --Michael
Dirda, The Washington Post Read more Stoicism is the most helpful and practical philosophy ever
devised. Its intention is to help people find happiness by things differently about their lives and
their problems. The advice the Stoics provided centuries ago is still the best anyone has offered,
and it's as useful today as it was then - or more. When anyone today says something 'really wise, '
the Stoics usually said it first. Today the word 'stoicism' is often used to mean suffering without
complaint, but the true ideas, and ideals, of the Stoics are far more powerful and interesting.
Stoicism means knowing the difference between what we can control and what we can't, and not
worrying about the latter. The Stoics were masters of perspective, always taking the long view
while remembering that life is short. And they were deep and insightful students of human nature,
understanding how we manage to make ourselves miserable as well as how we seek and can find
fulfillment. Read more See all Editorial Reviews
