Donald Robertson, author of 'Think Like a Roman Emperor': "I have met people who write books about Stoicism without ever having read the Stoics". "The best advice to live with serenity is to stop running" "People tell me they see it as a Western alternative to Buddhism and a secular alternative to Christianity" More than a million people on Facebook count Marcus Aurelius among their favorite authors, and publishers report that sales of Stoic classical texts have boomed.
