Of Peace of Mind by Seneca on Free Audio Book Download

In this dialogue written by Seneca, the Roman Stoic philosopher outlines man's search for emotional balance, a peace of mind that can carry anyone through life's turbulent ups and downs. To attain this, Seneca works through a series of virtues one might cultivate, including how to choose companions, when to enter public life, and when to stay anonymous, and above all, how to work with fear. Stressing that peacefulness is not equal to safety, Seneca believes human beings naturally need some equilibrium between active pursuits and quiet contemplation in order to create a well-rounded emotional life.
