What is How to Keep Your Cool: An Ancient Guide to Anger Management (Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers) about?

A new translation of the Roman philosopher Seneca’s classic essay On Anger” providing readers with a guide to managing their anger, both personal and political. **Timeless wisdom on controlling anger in personal life and politics from the Roman Stoic philosopher and statesman Seneca** In his essay “On Anger” (__De Ira__), the Roman Stoic thinker Seneca (c. 4 BC–65 AD) argues that anger is the most destructive passion: “No plague has cost the human race more dear.” This was proved by his own life, which he barely preserved under one wrathful emperor, Caligula, and lost under a second, Nero. This splendid new translation of essential selections from “On Anger,” presented with an enlightening introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, offers readers a timeless guide to avoiding and managing anger. It vividly illustrates why the emotion is so dangerous and why controlling it would bring vast benefits to individuals and society. Drawing on his great arsenal of rhetoric, including historical examples (especially from Caligula’s horrific reign), anecdotes, quips, and soaring flights of eloquence, Seneca builds his case against anger with mounting intensity. Like a fire-and-brims
