The collected works of a classic stoic philosopher whose musings on how to live in a troubled world continue to resonate 2,000 years later. Seneca touches upon subjects useful for the military practitioner to dwell; anger, happiness, to be merciful with power, grief, shortness of life (comparing time to a commodity), and the tranquility of the mind.
