    I read the book after reading the book "The Stoic Art of Life" by Christina Kourfali. I have to say that if one of the two books deserved a translation, it was Mrs. Kourfali's book and not Massimo Pigliucci's. Perhaps the time the book was written is to blame, although for me, the timeframe does not matter when determining whether a book is valuable or not. I read the book without discovering anything I didn't already know and without learning anything at the end of the reading, except for some historical examples that I found only under certain conditions for illustration. Whoever wants to seriously engage with Stoicism through this book, I wish them good luck.

Product report

Description & Specifications

In this book, Massimo Pigliucci shares with readers his personal journey through which he discovered the power of Stoic thinking. His mentor on this journey is one of the greatest Stoic teachers, Epictetus.

The author offers us both an accessible guide to Stoic philosophy and practical spiritual exercises. The Stoics advise us on how to achieve inner peace through the rational control of our impulses.

As human nature has not changed over time, their advice remains relevant, particularly in today’s world of fluidity and uncertainty. If we understand Stoicism, we can answer critical questions about our lives, handle the difficulties, sorrows, and disappointments we inevitably encounter, and thoughtfully seek happiness.

No matter what issue concerns us, Stoicism has something to say. The book belongs to the series of philosophical texts "Contemplative Life," directed by Charidimos K. Tsoukas.
