  How ancient Stoicism can help teach us to treat others—and ourselves—more fairly and mercifully 
   
   
   
  There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others. 
   
   
   
  Starting from the virtue of magnanimity—the opposite of small-mindedness—How to Do the Right Thing draws together lessons from Seneca's writings that stress the importance of calm and clear thinking, of judging oneself fairly before judging others, and of cutting people slack, with a bias toward mercy—all delivered in crisp and lively new translations.

  Anger is a common emotion, and everyone experiences it at some point in their lives. However, when it comes to anger management, parents can be at a distinct disadvantage because they often don’t have an outlet for their anger. This can lead to aggression, which can have lasting effects on their child’s development. 
  In this book, we explored the various ways in which parents can manage their emotions so that they’re not holding onto feelings of anger and frustration for too long. We also examine how parents can take steps to prevent aggression from taking root in their relationship with their children.  
  “Anger Management for Parents” is easy to read and understand. It contains hands-on methods and instructions, so you can follow along with the exercises in your own home. Whether you’re already a parent or are considering becoming one someday soon, it’s important to understand the signs of anger and aggression to recognize them in yourself or your child—and know how best to intervene if necessary!
