An updated and expanded edition of the book that launched a global phenomenon, Why have history''s greatest minds--from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today''s top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities--embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you''ll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
