7 excellent philosophical books
Philosophy seeks answers to questions that may be relevant to any person. This contradicts each other. We have prepared a list of philosophical books with which you can begin to get acquainted with this beautiful discipline. They, of course, were liked by all lovers of quality and useful literature.
1
The Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius
Perhaps this is the only work of this kind in the history of mankind. He gives advice on how to take responsibility and responsibilities.

Stoic Marcus Aurelius practiced a series of spiritual exercises every evening - reminders that required him to be humble, patient, sensitive and strong.
This is a practical philosophy. Discharged and memorized quotes.

"Moral Letters to Lucius" Seneca
He was a powerful man in Rome. He was often asked for advice. Most of them were preserved in the form of letters.

Read these letters, we get answers to many pressing questions today: problems of poverty and wealth, grief and joy, success and failure. This was a wide range of questions.
Seneca’s famous phrase: “I don’t worry who the author is if the text is good.” It doesn't matter where the advice came from, if it really helps. “Moral Letters to Lucius” refers to those books that they recommend reading in order to receive practical and useful advice.

"Maxims" Publius Syrah
Former Syrian slave, Public Sir - a source of wisdom that can be applied in modern life.
"Rivers are easiest to cross at their source."
“Want a big empire?” Learn to control yourself. "
"Divide the fire and you will rather put out it."
"Always avoid what makes you angry."
You can write on a piece of paper and use as affirmations. So that she becomes second nature.

"Fragments" of Heraclitus
In this list, most of them are inclined to practical recommendations. However, beautiful lines do not interfere with the meaning at all, rather, on the contrary.
Heraclitus gives a lot of advice on a variety of topics: finance, character, wisdom, perception, strategy.

“The Man in Search of Meaning” by Victor Frankl
The man who visited the concentration camp and got out of this did not lose his mind. He found that everything is in our power: we almost do not control all circumstances, but we completely control it.
It was a brilliant psychological and literary work.

Montaigne was interested in any topic and he found great pleasure in the very search for answers, remaining curious until the end of his life.
