52 Spiritual Exercises for Cultivating a Good Life

Live Like a Stoic

Stoicism is a practical philosophy of life, and while I enjoy writing about its history and theory, it is the practice that has so far had a significant impact in my life. I assume it is the same for most readers too. That's why in this booklet I collect a number of passages from the ancient Stoics where they explicitly advise certain practices or exercises. (Thanks to my friend Greg Lopez for helping curating the collection, on the occasion of Stoic Camp-New York). The first list is distilled from Epictetus' Enchiridion (the aptly titled "Manual"), while the second list is derived from Marcus' Meditations (again aptly, a diary that the emperor wrote for his own personal use).

From Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius

24 Stoic Spiritual Exercises

In "Die Weisheit der Stoiker" hat der Philosoph Massimo Pigliucci die antike Kunst der Gelassenheit für unsere Zeit neu entdeckt. Passend dazu kommt nun dieses Handbuch - eine praktische Anleitung, die uns den Stoizismus noch einmal näher bringt und gleichzeitig hilft, die schlauen Fragen und Gedanken von Epiktet, Seneca und Marc Aurel in die Tat umzusetzen: Was können wir beeinflussen und was nicht? Welche Ziele sollten wir anstreben und welche tunlichst vermeiden? Wie gehen wir dabei mit unseren Ressourcen um, mit unserer Energie und unserer Zeit? Das Buch ist unterteilt in 52 Lektionen, für jede Woche eine. Es wendet sich an alle, die nach einem Begleiter für einen glücklichen Alltag suchen.
