Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves--and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives--and destroyed them.

Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world.

The Stoic writings of the philosopher Seneca, who lived from c. 5 BC to AD 65, offer powerful insights into the art of living, the importance of reason and morality, and continue to provide profound guidance to many through their eloquence, lucidity and timeless wisdom. This selection of Seneca's orks was taken from the Penguin Classics edition of Dialogues and Letters, translated by C.D.N. Costa, and includes the essays On the Shortness of Life, Consolation to Helvia, and On Tranquility of Mind.

Invisible, Reliable, and Weirdly Satisfying
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 3)
I’ve tried a ton of different pimple patches and some fall off in the middle of the night, some look like you’ve taped a sticker to your face, and some just straight-up don’t work. These? These are my go-to. I wear them day and night, and I’ve literally forgotten I have one on because they’re that invisible. Even under makeup or in bright lighting, it’s hard to tell it’s there unless you’re seriously up close. They adhere well with no random peeling or slipping off and they stay put even through sleep or light face washing. That alone makes them worth it. But beyond just staying on, they do the job. After a few hours (or overnight), you can actually see the patch pulling oil and gunk out of the spot. It’s gross in the best way. I’ve had whiteheads flatten out and redness reduce without me ever touching the pimple. No popping, no scarring. If you’re the type who picks at your face out of habit that this helps break that cycle. Just slap one on and forget it. I’ve genuinely missed them before because they blend into my skin so well, even in the mirror.

Affordable
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1)
These patches are a good value for the price and work as expected. They stick pretty well and are relatively discreet on the skin. They don’t perform miracles overnight, but they do help keep the area clean and protected. I usually notice improvement after a couple of days. My only real complaint is that I wish the small size was just a bit larger. Overall, solid and affordable option.

INVISIBLE
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1), Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1)
These are basically invisible so you can wear them during the day! And they actually work! Incredibly thin so I use tweezers to apply them. Have been so great for my hormonal acne during pregnancy. Highly recommend!!
