About this audiobook

Discover the art of ordering one's life to minimize pain and maximize tranquility. Unlike his more abstract works, this guide offers practical wisdom on character, property, and reputation. It serves as a manual for the "acquired prudence" needed to navigate a deceptive world with dignity. A masterpiece of practical philosophy that teaches how to be rather than how to seem.
