“In this wonderful book of bracing thoughts, questions, and
guidance, William Ferraiolo provides a modern version of
the challenges presented to us in the ancient past by such
philosophers as Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius.
You can read just a few pages at a time, and have much
to ponder about your life, day-to-day.”
tom morris, Bestselling author of If Aristotle Ran General
Motors, The Stoic Art of Living, The Oasis Within,
and many other books
“Written in the spirit of Epictetus’ Manual, William Ferraiolo’s
Meditations exposes the common human fallacies that lead
to depression, anxiety, guilt, anger, and other toxic emotions.
From the self-defeating desire to control the minds of others
to the unrealistic demand that politicians tell the truth,
Ferraiolo challenges the most insidious human tendencies
to undermine one’s own peace and solemnity. Read it,
and always keep a copy close at hand.”
elliot d. cohen, ph.d. Author of What Would Aristotle Do?
Self-Control through the Power of Reason
