Superb... Sellars presents a clear, accessible overview of Stoicism as a lifestyle philosophy, offering practical insights on how to implement its principles' - Nigel Warburton
In recent years, Stoicism has experienced a resurgence in popularity. But what were the core tenets of this ancient philosophy? In 'Lessons in Stoicism', philosopher John Sellars deftly intertwines the fundamental concepts of the three renowned Roman Stoics -- Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius -- with glimpses into their intriguing lives, demonstrating how their ideas remain relevant in today's world.
Through engaging prose, Sellars illustrates how the writings of these three Stoics have captivated readers throughout history, addressing timeless challenges faced by individuals striving to navigate life's complexities. At its heart, their philosophy is about the art of living -- understanding one's role in the world, managing adversity, regulating emotions, and cultivating positive relationships with others.
Both comforting and thought-provoking, 'Lessons in Stoicism' serves as a profound guide to the philosophy of leading a fulfilling life, offering valuable insights on how ancient wisdom can enrich our modern existence.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
