Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the listener with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation.

Prince Lyov Nikolayevitch Myshkin is one of the great characters in Russian literature. Is he a saint or just naïve? Is he an idealist or, as many in General Epanchin's society feel, an "idiot"? Certainly his return to St. Petersburg after years in a Swiss clinic has a dramatic effect on the beautiful Aglaia, youngest of the Epanchin daughters, and on the charismatic but willful Nastasya Filippovna. As he paints a vivid picture of Russian society, Dostoyevsky shows how principles conflict with emotions - with tragic results.

What is Western Civilization? According to Professor Noble, it is "much more than human and political geography," encompassing myriad forms of political and institutional structures - from monarchies to participatory republics - and its own traditions of political discourse. It involves choices about who gets to participate in any given society and the ways in which societies have resolved the tension between individual self-interest and the common good.

Eating is an indispensable human activity. As a result, whether we realize it or not, the drive to obtain food has been a major catalyst across all of history, from prehistoric times to the present. Epicure Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said it best: "Gastronomy governs the whole life of man."

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was the final famous Stoic philosopher of the ancient world. The Meditations, his personal journal, survives to this day as one of the most loved self-help and spiritual classics of all time. In How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, psychotherapist Donald Robertson weaves stories of Marcus’s life from the Roman histories together with explanations of Stoicism—its philosophy and its psychology—to enlighten today’s listeners. He discusses Stoic techniques for coping with everyday problems, from irrational fears and bad habits to anger, pain, and illness.

Stranded Desert Island Book! Great Voice. Stoic af
Honesty, best voice. A candle and the bathtub, and you are transported to a wisdom spa of the ages. This book is the last word on stoicism you will ever need. I imagine it will be on rotation in my life until I memorize it. Truly, the way it introduces, then drills down each aspect of the human condition will make you actually realize you are smarter than you know, as it cuts through today's bewildering bad advice. I would bet that you will treasure it. Big statement, but... very possible. 10/10 stars. Seriously, though, if you could take this to a desert island, you'd realize its not at all half bad being stuck there... thats what it does to you. Declutters and clears away the excess vice, vanity, fear, and bs. Amazing audio book for the soul. Makes you calm and wise.

Fantastic
This is an absolute must for anyone interested in Stoicism. It provides a fantastic overview of the tenets of Stoic philosophy by using quotes from the teachings of the ancient Stoics, as well as writings from later thinkers who subscribed to Stoicism. It's a well organized book and I also thought the narration was great.

A very relevant roadmap on Stoicism.
I thoroughly enjoyed Ward Farnsworth's assessment of the principles of Stoicism. I found the responses to the numerous criticisms of the philosophy to be particularly eye opening and thought provoking. The narrator was easy to listen to and complemented the work well.

Best Stoicism book
I have read several books on Stoicism, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and related philosophies and psychology. The book is organised well, with chapters by principal topics, and the reader does a good job reading. My favourite aspect of the book is the excellent use of original source material, particularly the Medications of Marcus Aurelius, and the writings of Seneca, Epictetus, and other original thinkers. When making a particular point, the author quotes one of the philosophers and cites, as in an academic paper, the specific source of the quote (document, page, section). Very helpful in the event that one would like to read the quote in its original context. A book I will 'read' many times I'm sure.
