Tom Hodgkinson: How to Live Like a Stoic

The Stoics were celebrated by the Romans, influenced Christianity and admired by Shakespeare. In this ‘Handbook for Happiness’, Tom Hodgkinson, author of the bestselling How to Be Idle, looks at the greatest Stoics in history – including Seneca, Cicero and St Augustine – to see if they can help us find fulfilment. He talks to Fr Kevin Morris, vicar of St Michael & All Angels.
