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.

评分『虽然当今的哲学家都倾向于把时间用来辩论玄奥的话题,但大多数古代哲学家的主要目标却是帮助普通民众过更好的生活。』 这是本书中对我触动最大的话语,也是我读这本书的初衷。近来几个月,在学业的事情敲定之后,愈发的觉得人生迷茫。对选定的专业是否会有前途,自己是不是...
评分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。
评分作者自己整理、改编的21世纪生活实用斯多葛哲学。语言不枯燥,但基本属于高中生水平。有一些好idea,但不断重复不断重复重复重复,作者是复读机还是怕读者弱智记不住他那几个一二三四啊?越到后面越看不下去。去掉这些重复的,本书可以缩水一半。
评分比较啰嗦。Stoics就是几个原则:1. 内化(internalize)个人目标。不以物喜不以己悲 2. 多做negative visualization,切身想一下最坏的情况,居安思危。3. 以上两点都是为了获得内心的平静。(tranquility)
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
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.
