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.
放手还是放弃? 接纳还是接受? 追寻还是追逐? 些许微小的差别,已经是千差万别。斯多葛的意义,是让你平静。平静地面对发生的一切。平静的接受你无法改变的一切。平静的追求你想要的一切。 爱情。从来都不是一个人的事。你付出了,并不意味着能得到相同的回报。如果付出,就...
评分遇到这本书是一个很偶然的契机。基督教史近期讲到原始基督教吸收古希腊哲学形成教义,任课老师同期推荐了两本书,一本是我正在评价的这本,另一本是布克哈特的《君士坦丁大帝时代》。本来最初打算看看后者,结果因为自己史学背景过于薄弱,阅读过程太过痛苦,无奈放弃。捧起了...
评分本人也是斯多葛派的信徒,安宁处世,和大家眼中的的“佛系”很类似。但同时鼓励鼓起勇气采取行动去争取自己可以得到的事情。比起佛教的因果论,多了一些主动的态度。一开始拿到书就给了好评,其实更多针对的对斯多葛派的思想。读到后面又觉得很痛苦,有种闷头往前冲想赶紧读完...

评分????Stoicism:禁欲系的哲学学派,主张听天由命,顺从命运的安排,接受苦难和死亡。;这本书里面到处讲“美德的重要性“…我差点读不下去了;好不容易看到一句“那美德到底是什么”,结果答案是“temperance(禁欲…)”,我差点要把这本书合上了(但是强迫人格倾向,迫使我看完了…);可能stoicism学派不适合我吧,我还是追随我的存在主义大军8。打一星的原因是我自己不够认同这个Stoicism,仅此而已,与作者写作能力无关。
评分The key: know what is in your control, and what is not.
评分自洽>1:更想关注????happy的课题
