This book puts modern scientific understanding together with the philosophical insights of Stoicism, existentialism, and Buddhist principles to offer practical, really grounded solutions to a problem transcending eras and cultures. Added to this is the depth from the philosophical musings while the spiritual teachings give one a soothing, mindful way of overcoming delays and to live a life with more purpose.
