SUMMARY:Introduction to Stoicism\, Part III: Understanding Stoic Virtue
DESCRIPTION:“If you find anything in human life better than justice\, truthfulness\, self-control\, courage … turn to it with all your heart and enjoy the supreme good you have found … but if you find all other things to be trivial and valueless in comparison with virtue give no room to anything else…”\n-Marcus Aurelius\, Meditations 3.6 \nWe will discuss why Stoicism holds virtue to be the “supreme good” and essential for happiness. We will also talk about the distinctive qualities of Stoic virtue and how to practice and apply the cardinal virtues. If you are open to learning more about a coherent system of thought that can guide you in living a happy\, tranquil\, and meaningful life\, we welcome you

SUMMARY:A Guide to the Good Life: Chapters 7 & 8
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\nWe will discuss chapter six in William Irvine’s classic “A Guide to The Good Life.” A Guide to the Good Life examines the wisdom of Stoic philosophy and demonstrates how its practices are still applicable in today’s world. Using the psychological insights and the practical techniques of the Stoics\, A Guide to the Good Life also offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to avoid the feelings of chronic dissatisfaction that plague so many people today. We are examining various Stoic techniques for attaining tranquility and working through some practical exercises regarding how to put these techniques to work in our own life. We will explore how to minimize worry\, how to let go of the past and focus our efforts on the things we can control. \nIn this meeting we will explore chapter 7 “On Dealing with the Dark Side of Pleasure” and chapter 8 “Meditation.” While we encourage everyone to read the book it is by no means a requirement to participate in our discussion. \nA Guide To The Good Life With William Irvine\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4trH-Xbiy-I \nA Guide to the Good Life Book\nhttps://www.williambirvine.com/books \nA Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine\, Ancient art of stoic joy\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuEC87SryL0
