Much common sense. Taken from Seneca's writings on Stoicism, mostly from letters to a friend, easy to read and to understand. I thought an interesting fact, Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the U.S., used the phrase "pursuit of happiness" by which the author of this book opines that he meant "the pursuit of virtue."

Wonderfully clear, accessible interpretations of Stoic principles and nuances.
