Who this is
“The richest man in Rome, tutor to its worst emperor, wrote the most practical handbook for living ever produced by the ancient world — and then had to die by the very hand he had spent his life advising.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Life is long enough if you actually use it; philosophy is not a theory to admire but a daily practice for mastering time, anger, grief, and the fear of death.”
