"[Musonius Rufus] deserves to be more widely read, especially by
people looking to Stoicism for guidance today."—John Sellars,
author of The Pocket Stoic
"The work of Musonius Rufus offers a guide to living meaningfully
through the practical application of philosophy. Gretchen
Reydams-Schils provides a lucid and incisive introduction to Cora
Lutz's classic translation of this fascinating Stoic thinker."—Liz

“Given the explosion of interest in Stoicism from many quarters, it
is important to make a fuller selection of sources more widely
available.”—Kurt Lampe, University of Bristol
“Not as well known as his most famous pupil, Epictetus, Musonius is
a practical philosopher who offers helpful advice on a range of
everyday concerns. He deserves to be more widely read, especially
by people looking to Stoicism for guidance today."—John Sellars,
author of Lessons in Stoicism
