Summary
Summary
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.
