How to Keep Your Cool

This book is a translation of Seneca's 'De Ira' (On Anger), where Seneca argues that anger is a toxic emotion that should be avoided at all costs.

Using historical examples, anecdotes, and rhetorical flair, Seneca paints a grim picture of the moral perils of anger and advocates for a path of forgiveness and compassion.

The book is part of Princeton University Press's 'Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers' series and includes an introduction and notes by James Romm.

Seneca's thoughts on anger are presented as a valuable antidote to the ills of an angry age, relevant both for personal growth and societal renewal.
