From the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue.

Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire. In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.

Great Shelves Exspecially For the Money
Color: Grey, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
These shelves are very good. The price is great. and they look great in my granddaughter playroom. They are easy to install, and the instructions are very simple. They are study and the length of them are pretty large compared to others I looked at. They are very sturdy if done right. These were bought for an organization shelf wall from the floor to the ceiling. I bought one box and put them up and since then I have bought two more boxes for the rest of the wall

Attractive and strong shelves.
Color: Dark Carbonized Pine, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
These shelves are not only easy to install, but they look great too. I made a Mimi bar and these were strong enough to hold My liqueurs as well as glasses.

This was everything I needed. And it was exactly as described. And I really like the multiple ways that the brackets can be used. Good product. And a very good price.

Read the sizes
Color: Black, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
These look bigger and wider in the photos, but they are small, so read the measurements before buying. They are not real wood but they are sturdy and look great on my wall! They are easy to put together also. I love them!

Such a good price!
Color: Dark Carbonized Pine, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
Love them! They are so cute, couple notes. The wood doesn’t come with pre drilled pilot holes for attaching the brackets so you will need a drill/drillbits. It is real wood which impressed me, but outside tools definitely required. Including a level!! The “level” they offer is indeed a bubble in liquid, but it’s about an inch long, 1/2in wide and a cylinder so probably the most useless, cutest level I’ve seen in my life. Otherwise great! They hold exactly what I need.
