«La Gioia» is the essay on Stoic philosophy by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, published by Barbera in hardcover (105 pages, in Italian).
In the line of the Consolations, Seneca proposes that joy arises from living the present with awareness: what one loves may be missing tomorrow, and only those who know how to enjoy what delights them in the moment they possess it attain happiness. The work defends the cultivation of inner freedom and the full appreciation of affections and passions.
The work is part of the «Parole per sempre» collection by Barbera. The book was published on November 30, 2006.
A book for readers interested in Stoicism and in classical reflections on happiness and the mastery of emotions.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, usually known mononymously as Seneca, was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome, a statesman, a dramatist, and in one work, a satirist, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature.
