A brilliant philosopher reimagines Stoicism for our modern age in
this thought-provoking guide to a better life. For more than two
thousand years, Stoicism has offered a message of resilience in the
face of hardship. Little wonder, then, that it is having such a
revival in our own troubled times. But there is no denying how
weird it can be: Is it really the case that we shouldn't care about
our work, our loved ones, or our own lives? According to the old
Stoics, yes. In A Field Guide to a Happy Life, philosopher Massimo
Pigliucci offers a renewed Stoicism that reflects modern science
and sensibilities. Pigliucci embraces the joyful bonds of
affection, the satisfactions of a job well done, and the grief that
attends loss. In his hands, Stoicism isn't about feats of
indifference, but about enduring pain without being overwhelmed,
while enjoying pleasures without losing our heads. In short, he
makes Stoicism into a philosophy all of us -- whether committed
Stoics or simply seekers -- can use to live better.
