Vidas de Los Estoicos.

Almost 2,300 years after a bankrupt merchant named Zeno founded his school in Athens, Stoicism has shown its relevance in thousands of people seeking greatness: from athletes to politicians and professionals of all stripes. In this fascinating book, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman present the lives of people who strove to live by the cardinal virtues of Stoic thought: wisdom, self-control, justice, and courage. The short biographies present how this philosophical doctrine changed the lives of these people and reveal powerful lessons from their efforts, successes, and failures.
