Live Like A Philosopher
Live Like A Philosopher
An insightful and practical guide to living a happier life through lessons from nine key ancient philosophers
A wide-ranging philosophical and practical guide to incorporating the wisdom of ancient philosophers into daily modern life.
What does life truly mean? Who do I want to become? And how do I get there?
These are some of life's biggest questions that can be hard to think through. Fortunately, a group of philosophers from ancient Greece and Rome have already done a lot of the heavy lifting. Drawing on the philosophies, life lessons, and experiences of key thinkers, Live Like a Philosopher will help you navigate these existential waters with invaluable insights for modern life.
From finding balance with Aristotle and embracing uncertainty with Cicero to avoiding pain with Epicurus and learning how to rebel with Cynic Hipparchia, this is a powerful toolkit to help you navigate the highs and lows of modern life. Organised around three main themes of pleasure, virtue, and doubt, there's something to learn from each master in this philosophical quest. Live Like a Philosopher is the helping hand we all need to make life better.
