Summary: The essential writings from the three pillars of Stoicism.

Distilling the wisdom of the three Stoic masters, this volume contains the three most widely-read volumes of Stoic philosophy in history. Readers will get a comprehensive, 360-degree view of Stoicism, from Epictetus’ ethics to Marcus Aurelius’ reflections to Seneca’s aphorisms. Hailed as one of Rome’s “last good emperors,” Marcus Aurelius reflects on living wisely, calmly, and virtuously in a chaotic world. Epictetus describes the need to rationally accept the world around us and live with uncompromising virtue.

The philosophers’ combined wisdom shows readers how to live their best lives, staying calm and rational in the face of hardship, remaining true to their own code of ethics, and accepting the world on its own terms.
