About this title

Synopsis

Anger, Seneca argues, is not strength—it’s a kind of temporary madness that destroys judgment, relationships, and peace of mind. In Of Anger (De Ira), the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger offers a sharp, practical guide to understanding how anger starts, why it grows, and how to stop it before it takes control.

Blending moral philosophy with vivid examples from everyday life and public affairs, Seneca treats anger as a habit that can be weakened through self-awareness, delay, and disciplined thinking. Clear, direct, and surprisingly modern, this classic Stoic work is ideal for readers interested in Stoicism, emotional self-mastery, and timeless wisdom on living with greater calm and reason.
