An engaging guide to how Stoicism - the ancient philosophy of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius - can provide lessons for living in the modern world
Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to act depending on what is within our control and separate things worth getting upset about from those that are not. By understanding Stoicism, we can learn to answer crucial questions. Should we get married or divorced? How should we bank in a world nearly destroyed by a financial crisis? How can we survive great personal tragedy? Whoever you are, Stoicism has something for you - and How to Be a Stoic is your essential guide.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

In 1990, a country disappeared. When the Iron Curtain fell, East Germany ceased to be. For over forty years, from the ruin of the Second World War to the cusp of a new millennium, the German Democratic Republic presented a radically different Germany than what had come before and what exists today. Socialist solidarity, secret police, central planning, barbed wire: this was a Germany forged on the fault lines of ideology and geopolitics. Acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer sets aside the usual Cold War caricatures of the GDR to offer a kaleidoscopic new vision of this vanished country.

If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question, we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from thirty-seven cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior.

Emotional intelligence affects every aspect of the way we live, from romantic to professional relationships, from our inner resilience to our social success. It is arguably the single most important skill for surviving the twenty-first century. But what does it really mean? One decade ago, Alain de Botton founded The School of Life, an institute dedicated to understanding and improving our emotional intelligence. Now he presents the gathered wisdom of those ten years in a wide-ranging and innovative compendium of emotional intelligence that forms an introduction to The School of Life.

Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Massimo is a professor of philosophy, and what he provides here is a personal account of applying the principles of Stoicism to his own life. The troubles and travails that he uses to relate his application of Stoicism to modern life are all pedestrian; the death of his parents in old age, the minor inconveniences of one who is a successful academic. While I do not wish to denigrate Massimo's personal experience and suffering, I do not feel that it provides adequate scope for the full consideration of the application of Stoicism to modern life.
To be fair, part of my dissatisfaction with this work has to do with the narrator, who's bland and plodding tone rendered this book drier and more boring than it needed to be, like a cut of meat that would have done well if marinated, but was instead grilled to being overdone. Honestly it would have been better if Massimo himself had read it, as his voice is rich and expressive in the parts of the text he does read.
If you would like to learn about Stoicism, I encourage you to read Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, or perhaps Seneca. For a more modern consideration of Stoicism as it applies to life, I strongly encourage you to read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankel, who was a psychiatrist before he was placed in Auschwitz by the Nazis, and who writes with phenomenal compassion and clarity about his experiences as a holocaust survivor, as well as about how he applied what he learned to helping his patients.
This book was not a waste of my time, but there are better books available on the subject. I would very much like to read a treatise on modern Stoicism written by a contemporary psychologist or someone who otherwise has the background to deliver both a broader view of human life and a clearer sense of the implications of recent advances in psychology to the practice of Stoicism.
