In the Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine presents the fundamental principles and practices of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular schools of thought in antiquity. With a light and engaging style, the author highlights the relevance of Stoic wisdom for modern people.
Drawing from psychological knowledge and Stoic techniques, Irvine offers a roadmap for those seeking well-being. By carefully observing their lives, readers will learn how to avoid negative emotions, set aside the burdens of the past, and focus their energies on issues they can control.
Why are the Stoics important? Because they propose a philosophy of life with which we can intuitively identify. Unlike other philosophical schools, the Stoics seek balance in life and encourage us to enjoy its pleasures without becoming attached to them.
The book belongs to the new series of philosophical texts "Contemplative Life" directed by Charidimos K. Tsoukas.
