A quiet gift for the end of the day. A book for the hour before sleep.
The Bedside Book for Restful Sleep draws on short passages from Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Plutarch, Boethius, and other Stoic and classical voices—selected and introduced for the moment when the mind is still active, the body is tired, and tomorrow feels too close.
Philosophy, in daylight, tends to ask something of us. Read at the bedside, it behaves differently. It settles in with us. It keeps us company without insisting on action.
Each entry stands on its own. Open anywhere. Read for a while. Set it aside.
The night does the rest.
