In How to Live, biographer and translator James Romm presents a vivid new translation of passages from Seneca's On the Happy Life and Moral Epistles. Seneca, a renowned Stoic philosopher, argues that true happiness is only attainable through virtue, dismissing wealth and success as mere distractions. By drawing inspiration from figures like Socrates, he passionately encourages readers to embody ethical virtue as a means to achieve lasting contentment. This edition includes an engaging introduction and features the original Latin text alongside the translation.
