Stoicism

[close] I'll be available on Goodreads to answer questions about my book How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. Post questions now or wait until Sunday 20th September, when I'll be participating live.

[close] A book club on ancient and modern texts discussing the Greco-Roman philosophy of Stoicism and its contemporary applications in daily life.

[close] In this rapidly changing world, a growing number of people feel out of touch and alienated from the events taking place around them. They feel hopeless and doomed to play out lives of quiet confusion, existing as mere components of machines much larger then themselves. They struggle to find a sense of meaning in their personal life, a life that is now full of distractions constantly vying for their attention and by extension the most precious thing that we all have - our time. This group is about motivating people to spend their time more wisely by reading books that contain within them the seeds of personal growth and greater clarity. My hope is to cultivate a positive space here where insights can be shared and progress celebrated. Wherever you are along the journey towards self-actualization and inner peace, I wish you the best of luck - and if you're one of the rare few who's made it there please come and tell us how you did it!

[close] A book club that will center its readings around philosophy, politics, psychology, business and economic theory, Christian literature, and history in general.
