Each chapter examines a rule: Examine life Worry only about those things under your control Treasure friendship Experience true pleasure Master yourself Avoid excess Be a responsible human being Don"e;t be a prosperous fool Don't do evil to others Kindness to others tends to be rewarded All chapters begin with a quote from one of the great Greek philosophers who inspired the rule, followed by a story or explanation of the rule and its importance in life and end with teaching points on which to meditate and reflect. Any reader searching for meaning will return to this simple, slim volume again and again to find tried-and-true wisdom that spans the ages to speak to us today.
