Kurzbeschreibung:

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 Sates
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.
