Description
Tom Morris's exuberant seminars and presentations to business leaders have taken the commanding heights of corporate America by storm, and his books on philosophy for businesspeople have sold millions. Dr. Morris shows how the ideas of Stoic Philosophy—emphasizing goals like gaining command of one's passions and achieving indifference to pain and distress—are completely up-to-date in their relevance to the practical issues people confront in the 21st century.
Divided into three sections, Dr. Morris sympathetically relates the life and intellectual achievements of the three leading Stoics: the slave Epictetus, the lawyer Seneca, and the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. From the bottom of society, to the upwardly mobile middle, and all the way to the top, these thinkers saw life deeply.

About the Author
Tom Morris is the former Notre Dame philosophy professor whose classes became a campus legend and whose nationwide speaking engagements have electrified the audiences of corporate America. Continuing in his mission to bring philosophical wisdom into the trenches of everyday life, he shows how ideas of Stoic Philosophy - which emphasizes goals like gaining command of one's passions and achieving indifference to pain and distress - are completely up to date in their relevance to the practical issues people confront in the 21st century.
