Beyond Stoicism A Guide to the Good Life with Stoics, Skeptics, Epicureans, and Other Ancient Philosophers (Audiobook)

About this listen
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.With exercises to help you test-drive each philosophy today. A bonus PDF includes all charts, diagrams, and photographs that appear in the print edition of this bookPLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
