In the tradition of How to Live and How Proust Can Change Your Life, a philosopher asks how ancient Stoicism can help us flourish todayWhenever 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 focuses our attention on what is possible and gives us perspective on what is unimportant. By understanding Stoicism, we can learn to answer crucial questions: Should we get married or divorced? How should we handle our money in a world nearly destroyed by a financial crisis? How can we survive great personal tragedy? Whoever we are, Stoicism has something for us--and How to Be a Stoic is the essential guide. Review: from it's earliest roots been about finding truth and applying it to living a good life. - Outstanding book that brings key elements of ancient Stoicism into the 21st century. Massimo additionally delves into why this is appropriate: Stoicism has, from it's earliest roots been about finding truth and applying it to living a good life.

Um excelente livro-guia para os trabalhos originais dos estóicos
Excelente introdução ao estoicismo. Ler os três grandes estóicos sem um livro-guia como esse pode fazer com que o leitor se confunda entre as opiniões de um deles e temas centrais da filosofia. Isso é especialmente válido para o Epiteto que é o filósofo mais citado em How to Be a Stoic. Além disso, é uma excelente introdução aos textos do Massimo, que é um dos autores mais lúcidos que já li. Sugiro que o leitor que tenha gostado do estilo do autor procure a página no Patreon dele e leia as centenas de ensaios que ele produz sobre como aplicar filosofia no dia-dia. E até polêmicas como “Jeff Bezos é um estóico?”. Gostei tanto do livro que comprei o físico, a versão eletrônica e o audiobook.
