On Anger

Book • 2023
In 'On Anger,' Seneca the Younger provides a thoughtful and instructive analysis of anger, laying bare its roots and exposing its many faces.

The essay guides the reader through a series of reflections on understanding the cause of anger and learning how to control it.

Seneca argues that anger is a powerful and destructive emotion that can harm the person experiencing it more than others, and he offers practical advice on how to manage and overcome it.

The work remains relevant today, offering wisdom and eloquence on a complex emotion that has been a part of human experience since ancient times.
