Every age produces its own noise. Ancient Rome had its wars, its political intrigue, its plague. Medieval Japan endured centuries of strife, famine, and social upheaval. And yet, across these vastly different worlds, two great philosophical traditions arrived at strikingly similar conclusions about what makes for a life well-lived: simplicity, presence, discipline, and the willingness to attend to small things with great care.
This book draws on both of those traditions — the Japanese philosophy of mindful, minimal living and the ancient Greek and Roman school of Stoicism — and weaves them together into a practical guide for the modern person who senses, perhaps urgently, that something needs to change.
