Today on AMWTL, we discuss the book A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William B. Irvine.
The book is written as a practical guide for anyone who wants to becoming a practicing Stoic and we use it as a lens through which we look at Stoicism and assess it's worthiness as a guiding philosophy of life ... because we're totally qualified to make that call.
We also talk a little about the history of Stoicism, its origin in Greece and the decline of the philosophy after the death of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor who is often considered the last charismatic practitioner of Stoicism.
And so much more!
Listen in and let us know if you think Stoicism is a good way to live ... or not.
A Million Ways to Live was produced By Chris Egan
