Live And Like It

Take a Walk with a Stoic

About

 

Many of us find it difficult to evaluate the problems of our lives and reach the right decisions; to realize the conse­quences of our actions and the effect they can have on the happi­ness, or unhappiness, of our lives, and the lives of others. We tend to be slaves to the common myth that money and material possessions create happiness. It sel­dom works that way. The question we should ask is how do we achieve hap­piness in today's modern world? The answers may be found in the pas­sages of this book. As they are read, absorbed, and understood, they will suggest that happiness is a matter of opinion, nothing more than the good ordering of the mind.

                                                        And reflect how eagerly you would
                                                        want the things you do have, should
                                                        they be taken away…’ 
                                                                                      — Marcus Aurelius
