Ancient Wisdom for Modern Anxiety
Imagine starting each morning with the wisest mentor you could possibly have-someone who understands human psychology with uncanny precision and can help you navigate life's complexities with grace. This is what author David Fideler discovered through his ritual of "breakfast with Seneca," reading the ancient Stoic philosopher's works each morning. While technology has transformed our world since Roman times, human nature remains unchanged-the same anxieties, relationship challenges, and emotional struggles that plagued Romans still trouble us today. This explains why Seneca's teachings are experiencing a renaissance, with Silicon Valley executives, professional athletes, and everyday people discovering that this Roman statesman offers more relevant life advice than most modern self-help books. Stoicism isn't about suppressing emotions or "keeping a stiff upper lip." Rather, it offers a sophisticated approach to transforming destructive emotions through understanding rather than suppression. At its core, Stoicism teaches that happiness comes from within-specifically from developing excellence of character rather than from external circumstances like wealth, fame, or even health.
