Why It's Lindy
The most practically useful Stoic text ever written. Seneca wrote three books on anger because he himself had a terrible temper — which makes the advice more credible, not less. "How much better to heal than to avenge an injury" was written two thousand years ago and is still better advice than anything modern psychology has produced on the subject. Marcus Aurelius kept returning to it.
