The Consolation of Philosophy

Imprisoned and lamenting his fallen fortunes, the author receives a visit from Philosophy, who rebukes his complaints and diagnoses his grief. Through a dialogue, Philosophy argues that the gifts of Fortune are external, unstable, and ultimately meaningless, demonstrating that true happiness must be sought within rather than in worldly possessions, power, or fame.
