An approach to the philosophy of life

Commenté en Italie le 22 novembre 2016

Achat vérifié

The reason why this book is interesting is that it offers a cohrent philosophy of life, the stoic's:in fact, It presents different powerful techniques such as negative visualization, focus on things that are under your control and fatalism referred to the past; in the book you'll also find a good explanation of those and others techniques

I'm new to stoicism and this book provided a lot of clarity to help me understand the subject matter. I would recommend this book to my mother and friends.

I particularly liked the way the author used his personal experiences in experimenting with Stoicism throughout. It was like talking with a friend!

Read it, live it. That's it.

This is the first book I've read regarding Stoicism and it was an interesting read. Some of the principles and advice are well worth read and many of us, I think, would benefit from putting much of what is contained within this book into daily practice. I have, at 48 years old, been practising some Stoic principles without knowing it and having read this, it has encouraged me to move further down that route. It is a very accessible text and a good starting place for anyone interested in this subject area. Buy it, read it and practice the techniques. I hardly ever write a review for a product but this book is worth it. Highly recommended.

The pursuit of Stoic virtue in the 21st century

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 6 juin 2015

Achat vérifié

William Irvine's "A guide to the good life" examines the applicability of a Stoic way of life in the 21st century, and in a well-written and readable discourse guides the reader through the Stoic principles of leading the "good life" and striving for virtue (in its original sense) and tranquillity. It should be stressed perhaps that to some extent this is the author's own interpretation of Stoicism and with modifications (for example he attempts to bring human evolution into the system as underpinning some aspects, to replace the ancients' Zeus/Jupiter as the source of human creation) and perhaps at times he talks a bit too much about himself and his own circumstances, but he avoids being preachy and concedes that Stoic practice may not work for all.

Anyone wanting to get into Stoicism really needs to be reading the ancient authors, Seneca, Epictetus, Musonius Rufus and Marcus Aurelius, but unfortunately the further reading supplied is not particularly extensive.

Philosophy, psychotherapy & REBT

Commenté aux États-Unis le 16 mars 2017

Achat vérifié

Irvine presents an accessible overview of the early Stoics and then consolidates their thinking according to specific topics such as anger, old age, grief, etc. Most helpful is his collection of Stoic techniques - ways to implement Stoic philosophy in your own life.

As a Stoic, Irvine has a lot of criticism for current psychological approaches to dealing with life's challenges. He says that "the consensus view among psychological therapists is that we should stay in touch with our emotions: Rather than try to deny their existence, we should contemplate them, and rather than trying to bottle them up we should vent them." He contrasts this with the Stoic approach, which doesn't require that we bottle up our emotions, but does "help us to to take steps to prevent negative emotions and to overcome them when our attempts at prevention fail."

This criticism is valid for much of popular psychology and many psychological professionals as well. There is one psychological approach, however, that is explicitly based on Stoicism: Rational-Emotive-Behavioral Therapy (REBT). REBT was developed by Albert Ellis, who wrote many books teaching people how to identify and correct the thinking that causes them emotional upset. If you want practical advice about how to live as a Stoic, without having to read about ancient philosophers, get one of the several books by Ellis.
