Description

Being a stoic in the modern world isn’t harder than in Ancient Greece. For that, you need inner peace to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what is possible, and wisdom to always distinguish one from the other. In his book “How to Be a Stoic,” the well-known American philosopher and biologist Massimo Pigliucci offers the reader an exciting journey into the depths of this ancient philosophy, choosing the ancient Greek stoic Epictetus as a guide. Stoicism is a very modern philosophy that teaches how to make the right decisions, control anger, take criticism properly, and think about death—one’s own and that of loved ones. But the main question to which Stoicism answers is: how to live correctly.
