How can I live a good life? Who do I want to become? And
how do I get there? These are some of life's biggest
questions. But they 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 Carneades, to avoiding pain
with Epicurus and learning how to question everything with
Socrates, this is a powerful toolkit to help you navigate
the highs and lows of modern life. Organized around three
main themes of pleasure, character, 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.
