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. Seneca provides quick, accessible Stoic wisdom in a series of letters to his friend Lucilius. 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.

MARCUS AURELIUS was born in 121 AD. He is believed to have been a bookish young boy who studied with a number of Stoic philosophers. He had a reputation for virtue from a young age and was adopted into the imperial family. This led to him becoming Emperor of Rome, a post he held from 161 until his death in 180. EPICTETUS was born into slavery in ancient Greece in 50 AD. He founded his own school of philosophy and became one of the foundational thinkers of Stoic philosophy. His discourses were transcribed and shared by his student Arrian, and his work has influenced countless readers over the centuries, from Marcus Aurelius to Tom Wolfe. SENECA was born in 1 BCE in Cordoba and educated in Rome, where he became an advisor for Emperor Nero and had a dramatic political career. However, he is best known for his contributions to Stoic philosophy, and his works played a central role in the renewed interest in Stoicism during the Renaissance.
