Renourishment for the soul

When the world was emerging from the darkness and into the light of the Renaissance, it was Plutarch whom the great thinkers turned to. How fitting that after this tumultuous year, we again reach for the wisdom of this ancient and yet so timeless Greek sage with this Levenger Press exclusive book.
On Contentedness of Mind is a book intended, as the author says, "for the real business of life." Taming anger, conquering timidity, finding solace, cultivating our better selves—Plutarch provides an eloquent, useful and often humorous guide for modern living. He influenced Shakespeare, comforted Beethoven and inspired Emerson (who provides the introduction). Chances are, he can help you and your loved ones live a more meaningful life.
