A Guide to the Good Life pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Irvine, a professor of philosophy at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, writes that Stoicism was one of many competing philosophies (such as the Cynics and the Epicureans) that ran schools to teach a "philosophy of life" to students in ancient Greece and Rome. The Stoics were interested in leading a life of "tranquility," meaning a life free of "anger, anxiety, fear, grief, and envy." To achieve such a life the Stoics developed, in the words of historian Paul Veyne, a "paradoxical recipe for happiness," that included the practice of "negative visualization." By frequently and vividly imagining worst-case scenarios -- the death of a child, financial catastrophe, ruined health -- the Stoics believed you would learn to appreciate what you have, and curb your insatiable appetite for more material goods, social status, and other objects of desire.

Reading the book, I had no trouble understanding how negative visualization could be an effective antidote against "hedonic adaptation." By imagining ourselves to be homeless, for instance, we can reset our desire for a more luxurious home and once again appreciate the roof over our head that we started taking for granted shortly after moving in.

读后感
本书除了梳理了斯多葛学派的发展和主要人物以外，还煎蛋阐述了斯多葛学派的主要思想，以及如何实践。对于各方对斯多葛提出的疑问和反对，也一一进行了回应。书的后部分是对践行斯多葛哲学的“指导手册”，告诉读者在现代怎样理解并借助古代先哲的智慧来获取幸福的生活。 古罗马...
评分说来惭愧，在写书评之前我还在跟人争吵一个话题，对于抱持异见态度的我，生命安宁或许永远只是一种想象。当然，想象或许是彼端发生的源泉之一。 对于斯多葛哲学，由于众所周知的原因火起来的《沉思录》无疑是一个最好的诠释。让我感兴趣的，或许是前面关于诸多学说的介绍，感觉...
评分 评分 评分《生命安宁》讲述了如何运用有2000多年历史的斯多葛哲学过上安宁、幸福的生活，这里的关键词是“运用”，这不是一门只能看、辩论、研究的哲学，而是有实实在在的指导方法，帮助我们面对复杂多变的生活。 全书分成四大部分，第一部分循例讲了斯多葛哲学的诞生和发展；第二部分便...
用户评价
后面太啰嗦。也许是minimalism的始祖？预设价值是人应该追求tranquility，然后谈了negative visualisation等几个方法。消减了很多激烈情绪和欲望后，的确是和buddhism很像了，但也能感觉到christianity的影子，在倒数第三章的确谈到了二者的联系。因为相信有个god，我们的预设意义与价值就不必要随着本性放逐，而是要克服要逆向作为，为一个更高的预设价值努力
评分美亚那么高的分，多得益于写作技巧吧。典型美国书，啰嗦而事无巨细，核心观点三页纸就能说罢……没有完整的介绍斯多葛学派的系统观点，只抽出若干光芒来借题发挥，虽然古话今说地很不错。被啰嗦得受不了了，没看完，有时间继续跳读//20150802：总体来说不值得读的书，没说出什么其他途径了解不到的卓见
评分这是一本以现代人的观点诠释斯多葛哲学的书 其实不是很有新意，毕竟跟佛家道家也有很多共同点 现在的词典，stoic 都会有一个“禁欲主义者”的语义 读完这本书才知道其实这个解释其实很有误导性，像犬儒或者原始的佛教那种才是真正的禁欲主义者吧 …… 借用某个开兰博基尼的推荐这本书的网红程序员的说法：我可以拥有兰博基尼，但是失去它也不会对我的 tranquility 有什么影响 这种才是 stoic
评分读了一半。feel like the author was distorting Stoicism for incorporating them to his self invented Stoic techniques; some quotes from ancient Stoics obviously didn't support his interpretation.
评分Live a stoic life. 1>Negative visualisation; 2>Trichotomy control & internalizing your goals; 3>Fatalist about past and present, not about future. 4>Voluntary discomfort. 如果没有第四点，我会给这本书一星的。
