Jak uplatnit stoickou moudrost v každodenním životě

Jak můžeme aplikovat učení největšího antického filozofa v moderním životě? Sokrates je klíčovým athénským filozofem, zdrojem celé západní filozofické tradice a kmotrem stoiků. Celý život učil praktickou filozofii obyčejné lidi v ulicích Athén, přesto je dnes jen málo lidí obeznámeno s moudrostí, kterou nám může nabídnout.Kniha Myslet jako Sokrates vás přístupným a poučným způsobem provede životem jednoho z největších myslitelů v dějinách. Zároveň je první knihou, která se zaměřuje na aplikaci jeho myšlenek do našeho každodenního života. Autor Donald J. Robertson přenáší čtenáře do starověkých Athén a zkušeně splétá poutavé vyprávění o filozofovi, který se vyhýbal hmotným požitkům a stál si za svým přesvědčením i tváří v tvář kontroverzím s nezlomností, což nakonec vyústilo v jeho popravu. Kniha Myslet jako Sokrates zdůrazňuje trvalou hodnotu sokratovské metody pro moderní život. Robertson jako praktikující kognitivně-behaviorální psychoterapeut také využívá svých odborných znalostí, aby odhalil mnoho paralel mezi koncepty a technikami moderní psychologie a Sokratovou filozofií a ukázal, jak nás jeho filozofické postřehy mohou vést a být přínosné i v současnosti.

DISCOVER THE ENDURING LEGACY OF ANCIENT STOICISM Since Roman antiquity, Lucius Annaeus Seneca’s Letters have been one of the greatest expressions of Stoic philosophy. In a highly accessible and timeless way, Seneca reveals the importance of cultivating virtue and the fleeting nature of time, and how being clear sighted about death allows us to live a life of meaning and contentment. Letters from a Stoic continues to fascinate and inspire new generations of readers, including those interested in mindfulness and psychological techniques for well-being. This deluxe hardback selected edition includes Seneca’s first 65 letters from the Richard M. Gummere translation. An insightful introduction by Donald Robertson traces Seneca’s busy life at the centre of Roman power, explores how he reconciled his Stoic outlook with vast personal wealth, and highlights Seneca’s relevance for the modern reader.

The stoics lived a long time ago, but they had some startling insights into the human condition - insights which endure to this day. The philosophical tradition, founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in 301 BC, endured as an active movement for almost 500 years, and contributions from dazzling minds such as Cicero, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius helped create a body of thought with an extraordinary goal - to provide a rational, healthy way of living in harmony with the nature of the universe and in respect of our relationships with each other. In many ways a precursor to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Stoicism provides an armamentarium of strategies and techniques for developing psychological resilience, while celebrating all in life which is beautiful and important. By learning what stoicism is, you can revolutionise your life and learn how to seize the day, live happily and be a better person. This simple, empowering book shows how to use this ancient wisdom to make practical, positive changes to your life. Using thought-provoking case studies, highlighting key ideas and things to remember and providing tools for self-assessment, it demonstrates that Stoicism is a proven, profound pathway to happiness.
