Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living the Good Life

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Folks have always tried to get to the essence of how to live the good life. Ben Franklin created Poor Richar's Almanac that provided maxims for becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise. Robert Fulguhm asserted that the good life can be experienced by reclaiming kindergarten wisdom. Stephen Covey isolated the seven characteristics of highly effective people. In this slim volume, Michael Soupios and Panos Mourdoukoutas direct us to look back to the dawn of Western civilization to discover how to live the good life. The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers can be distilled down to ten simple rules. If obeyed, these ten rules will enable us to have rich and meaningful lives. Each chapter has a rule. Each chapter begins with a quote from one of the Greats (Aeschylus, Epictetus, Aesop, Hesiod, etc.), followed by an anecdote and an explanation of the rule. Each chapter ends with several points to reflect upon.
