How to Live a Good Life
How to Live a Good Life: A Guide to Choosing Your Personal Philosophy | Skye Cleary, Massimo Pigliucci, Daniel Kaufman
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
A collection of essays by fifteen philosophers presenting a thoughtful, introductory guide to choosing a philosophy for living an examined and meaningful life. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL Socrates famously said "the unexamined life is not worth living," but what does it mean to truly live philosophically? This thought-provoking, wide-ranging collection brings together essays by fifteen leading philosophers reflecting on what it means to live according to a philosophy of life. From Eastern philosophies (Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism) and classical Western philosophies (such as Aristotelianism and Stoicism), to the four major religions, as well as contemporary philosophies (such as existentialism and effective altruism), each contributor offers a lively, personal account of how they find meaning in the practice of their chosen philosophical tradition. Together, the pieces in How to Live a Good Life provide not only a beginner's guide to choosing a life philosophy but also a timely portrait of what it means to live an examined life in the twenty-first century.

COVID life has been crazy. Got caught in a non-reading funk (my Minecraft village is thriving though and I‘ve caught many Pokémon!). Tonight my daughter has her first color guard practice and I‘m taking advantage of it by reading.

Buchbeeg Same! Hate non-reading funks. 4y

Egypt and I are about to learn about different philosophies of life and how to pick one. (Granted, I already have mine, but who am I to say it‘s the right one for everyone?)

Newly out and newly arrived! 😍

Can‘t wait to read about the many different philosophies of life. The book describes ancient Eastern and western philosophies, religious traditions, and modern philosophies. I definitely favor ancient western philosophies but would love to learn about others and use this knowledge to help others desiring a philosophy of life to find the right fit for them!
