The Stoic's Guide to Happiness

Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius wrote that almost nothing material is needed for a happy life. In Letters from Stoic, Seneca discusses the idea of how to properly handle one's time and derive meaningful experience. For the Stoic, the ability to find happiness in spite of what occurs around us is developed through character and perspective. We must realize that nothing is good or bad inherently, but only our judgments and interpretations of things can be good or bad.
