What does life truly mean Who do I want to become And how do I get there
These are some of life's biggest questions that are hard to think through. Fortunately, a group of philosophers from ancient Greece and Rome have already done a lot of the heavy lifting. In Live Like A Philosopher you will learn about the lives and theories of nine key philosophers with practical tips on how each philosopher can help you navigate the highs and lows of modern life. From finding balance with Aristotle and embracing uncertainty with Cicero to understanding yourself and your priorities better with Socrates, this is a powerful toolkit to help you figure out how to make your life the best you can live.Massimo Pigliucci (Author)
