Subtitled "A Stoic Guide to the Art of Living," this examination of the highlights of Seneca's practical philosophy by David Fideler is both valuable in itself and as a prod to go deeper into the source material. For me, Seneca's wisdom has always had the effect of a warm healing light, or a refreshing immersion in cool, clear water. When I stray into negative behaviors (anger, for example), he offers a path back to a more focused, worthy life. Fideler reminds readers that this life is accessible to all.
