There’s more to Stoicism than shrugging your shoulders and getting on with it, as Tom Hodgkinson discovers in this witty and enlightening book.
Returning to the original philosophical texts and looking at the greatest Stoics in history – including Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine – he discovers that Stoicism is much stranger and more radical than you’d think.
With witty reflections on everything from ethics, grammar, rhetoric, education and friendship to the importance of occasionally letting your hair down, Tom Hodgkinson shares his genuinely funny and brilliant guide to the Stoic life.
