The book that Roosevelt read in his moments of suffering. The book that Bill Clinton still reads endlessly today. The book that today's environmentalists love. The book that in our time was able to capture the hearts of senior technology companies. Golden book.Stoic philosophy has had a profound impact on our time, as the twenty-first century shares many vicissitudes and difficulties with late antiquity.
