Live a stoic life. 1>Negative visualisation; 2>Trichotomy control & internalizing your goals; 3>Fatalist about past and present, not about future. 4>Voluntary discomfort. 如果没有第四点,我会给这本书一星的。
评分读了一半。feel like the author was distorting Stoicism for incorporating them to his self invented Stoic techniques; some quotes from ancient Stoics obviously didn't support his interpretation.
评分三星半,啰嗦了,三分之一的长度,可能更好
评分美亚那么高的分,多得益于写作技巧吧。典型美国书,啰嗦而事无巨细,核心观点三页纸就能说罢……没有完整的介绍斯多葛学派的系统观点,只抽出若干光芒来借题发挥,虽然古话今说地很不错。被啰嗦得受不了了,没看完,有时间继续跳读//20150802:总体来说不值得读的书,没说出什么其他途径了解不到的卓见
评分这是一本以现代人的观点诠释斯多葛哲学的书 其实不是很有新意,毕竟跟佛家道家也有很多共同点 现在的词典,stoic 都会有一个“禁欲主义者”的语义 读完这本书才知道其实这个解释其实很有误导性,像犬儒或者原始的佛教那种才是真正的禁欲主义者吧 …… 借用某个开兰博基尼的推荐这本书的网红程序员的说法:我可以拥有兰博基尼,但是失去它也不会对我的 tranquility 有什么影响 这种才是 stoic
Irvine, a professor of philosophy at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, writes that Stoicism was one of many competing philosophies (such as the Cynics and the Epicureans) that ran schools to teach a "philosophy of life" to students in ancient Greece and Rome. The Stoics were interested in leading a life of "tranquility," meaning a life free of "anger, anxiety, fear, grief, and envy." To achieve such a life the Stoics developed, in the words of historian Paul Veyne, a "paradoxical recipe for happiness," that included the practice of "negative visualization." By frequently and vividly imagining worst-case scenarios -- the death of a child, financial catastrophe, ruined health -- the Stoics believed you would learn to appreciate what you have, and curb your insatiable appetite for more material goods, social status, and other objects of desire.
Reading the book, I had no trouble understanding how negative visualization could be an effective antidote against "hedonic adaptation." By imagining ourselves to be homeless, for instance, we can reset our desire for a more luxurious home and once again appreciate the roof over our head that we started taking for granted shortly after moving in.
大名鼎鼎的古罗马哲学家、政治家和戏剧家塞内加是一个斯多葛;《沉思录》的作者、被《君主论》作者马基雅维利称为“五位罗马好皇帝之一”的马可·奥勒留也是一个斯多葛;19世纪叔本华的著作《人生的智慧》,明显带有斯多葛主义的腔调;《瓦尔登湖》的作者梭罗在生活中践行斯多...
