| 1 | Beyond Stoicism: A Guide to the Good Lif | Massimo Pigliucci, Gregory Lopez & Meredith Alexander Kunz |
| Navigate the challenges of modern life, with ancient and time-tested Greek and Roman thinkers at your side. What is a good life? And how can we create that life in a world filled with uncertainty? Beyond Stoicism invites you to find your own answers to these big questions with help from thirteen of the most prominent Greco-Roman philosophers―many of whom inspired, or were inspired by, the Stoics. By taking cues from the lives and ideas of the Cynics, Epicureans, and others, you’ll learn to: Seek pleasure with Aristippus Strike the right balance with Aristotle Focus on what’s up to you with Epictetus Be a rebel like Hipparchia Embrace uncertainty with Carneades Question everything with Socrates Work toward a just society with Plato And much more Times have changed, but the quest for eudaimonia―a life worth living―stays the same: We still seek pleasure and crave love, avoid pain and fear death. That’s why all these ancient sages can continue to guide us, practicing Stoics and new seekers alike. |
