Book Synopsis
Perennial wisdom from one of history’s most important Stoic teachers

Trade Review
"[Musonius Rufus] deserves to be more widely read, especially by people looking to Stoicism for guidance today."—John Sellars, author of The Pocket Stoic

"The work of Musonius Rufus offers a guide to living meaningfully through the practical application of philosophy. Gretchen Reydams-Schils provides a lucid and incisive introduction to Cora Lutz's classic translation of this fascinating Stoic thinker."—Liz Gloyn, Royal Holloway, University of London

“Given the explosion of interest in Stoicism from many quarters, it is important to make a fuller selection of sources more widely available.”—Kurt Lampe, University of Bristol

“Not as well known as his most famous pupil, Epictetus, Musonius is a practical philosopher who offers helpful advice on a range of everyday concerns. He deserves to be more widely read, especially by people looking to Stoicism for guidance today."—John Sellars, author of Lessons in Stoicism
