A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William B. Irvine, read by James Patrick Cronin
17 Nov 2020
What if you already have absolutely everything you need to feel satisfied (and even joyful!) about your life? Stoic philosophy is based on the idea that satisfaction in life, also described as tranquility, rests on our ability to accept and ultimately embrace life as it is, no matter who or where we are. As William B Irvine sums it up, "to be satisfied with little is not a failing, it is a blessing".William B Irvine is professor of philosophy at Wright State University. The author of seven books, including A Guide to the Good Life, he has also written for the Huffington Post, Salon, Time, and the BBC. He lives in Dayton, Ohio.Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25230222-a-guide-to-the-good-lifeYouTube: https://youtu.be/h76A-ZZ3BdMAudio production by Graham StephensonEpisode music: Caprese by Blue Dot Sessions
