A Guide to the Good Life

William B. Irvine, 2008

A modern philosopher tries to live as a Stoic and reports what works.

Talk about it

  1. Irvine practises Stoicism as a modern man. Which of his habits would fit your life?
  2. Is choosing some discomfort on purpose wise, or a little self-indulgent?
  3. What does he leave out of the ancient Stoics, and does it matter?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
