What is happiness? The answer can be so general and obvious, or, on the contrary, propose so many different variables, that it doesn't work for my concrete life, for the human being of this 21st century, opulent in virtual connections but poor when it comes to really connecting to others.

What is happiness? The answer can be so general and obvious, or, on the contrary, propose so many different variables, that it doesn't work for my concrete life, for the human being of this 21st century, opulent in virtual connections but poor when it comes to really connecting to others. However, one of the most formidable thinkers in history, Seneca, an illustrious exponent of Stoicism, was able to unravel in his work the essential keys to bring us closer to that longed-for state, which translates into peace of mind. Of all the philosophical currents of antiquity, it is Stoicism that can best inspire us for the future. It can do so on a social or political level, but also on a personal level, because this line of thought is concerned with the problems of the individual and the care of oneself. Of all the Stoics, Seneca is the one who comes closest to the heart of the human being and who can contribute most to today's man, beset by crises, threatened by the dehumanisation of this consumerist and technological world in which we live, which sells us a deception that frustrates us and fills us with anguish and disappointment. Stoicism proposes solutions at both the individual and social level, because it is a philosophy that conceives the human being as connected to others. Alberto Monterroso, author of 'Seneca. La sabiduría del Imperio', perhaps the best biography of the character, and author of such acclaimed novels as 'El amo de Roma', has delved into the work and thought of the man who was Nero's advisor to offer the reader this essential book, one of those rare books that you end up being better and happier than you were before.
