How Can Seneca Improve Your Life with philosopher David Fideler

 

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable. ~ Seneca

The Death of Seneca Painting by Manuel Dominguez Sanchez

 

In this episode Vashik Armenikus sits down with philosopher David Fideler, who wrote a brilliant book called Breakfast with Seneca.

Seneca was a stoic philosopher who is widely recognised as the most humane writer of the Stoic tradition. He teaches us to live with freedom and purpose.

In Breakfast with Seneca , David Fideler explores Seneca’s ideas in a series of focused chapters, clearly explaining Seneca’s ideas without oversimplifying them.

Those chapters can help you to overcome grief; find meaningful friendships; cope with anxiety; and live a truly fulfilling life.

Note: This conversation comes in two parts. In the first part we discuss Seneca and Stoic philosophy and in the second part we focus on David's next book on the Renaissance and how we can replicate it in our modern world. The part 2 will be released in a week.
