About this book
Better known for his Lives, Plutarch here gathers dozens of essays on how to live well, on friendship, anger, education, contentment, superstition, marriage, and the care of the soul. Wise, humane, and full of memorable anecdotes, the Morals distill the practical philosophy of the ancient world into advice that still speaks directly to modern readers. Plutarch writes as a genial, cultured guide rather than a stern theorist, and his reflections influenced writers from Montaigne to Emerson. A rich treasury of ancient wisdom, it rewards browsing and rereading alike as a companion for a thoughtful life.
