There are times when we鈥檝e all felt that we haven鈥檛 been treated as we deserve鈥攖hat we鈥檝e been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we鈥檝e treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help readers better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life鈥攈ow to do right by others.
Starting from the virtue of magnanimity鈥攖he opposite of small-mindedness鈥�How to Do the Right Thing draws together lessons from Seneca鈥檚 writings that stress the importance of calm and clear thinking, of judging oneself fairly before judging others, and of cutting people slack, with a bias toward mercy鈥攁ll delivered in crisp and lively new translations, and with the original Latin on facing pages.
