Book Description
How to Live Well explores seventeen habits you can learn and use in order to live a physically and mentally healthy life and achieve authentic success. Spiritual writing and poetry were never on the life to-do list of Dr. Pilar Tan. She was first and foremost a scientist, practicing internal medicine. Through the years, Pilar's spiritual life was brought into focus as she learned about life's trials and triumphs through her patients. Pilar's first attempt at spiritual writing produced a book titled Learning and Being. After the untimely death of her son Edward, she began to seriously question her faith. With the help of her daughter Melin, her grandchildren, friends, and colleagues, Pilar found her way out from the depths of despair. Her experiences kindled within her the hope of better times and a desire to use her personally tragic experience for the benefit of others. The fruits of this catharsis is her current work, How to Live Well, Whatever Life Brings. As she tells her own story of adaptation, Pilar describes the coping skills she learned to use consciously to live life successfully. She uses medical knowledge learned throughout her many years as an internist, while weaving poetic verses, biblical excerpts, and inspirational quotes to complement each topic.

Manual of Reformed Stoicism
Author: Piotr Stankiewicz
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1622739442
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
This book is a manifesto of reformed Stoicism. It proposes a system of life which is bullet-proof, universal, viable and effective in every cosmic setting. It holds in every possible universe, under any government and within any economic system. We can be reformed Stoics no matter what we believe in. Reformed Stoicism is about enjoying and exercising our agency. In other words, it’s about the flow of making autonomous and right decisions, and about celebrating our ability to make them. With no reliance on nature, with the recalibration of metaphysical positions, with skepticism towards grand discourses and universal answers, with an emphasis on the usefulness instead of truthfulness of narratives, with no reference to the vanity argument, with criticism of both conservative and ascetic misinterpretations of Stoicism, with an overall softer and more empathic approach, we can no longer be defined by the generic term “Stoicism”. Our time, in short, calls for a fresh interpretation of Stoicism. It is time for a new generation of Stoics. Thus: reformed Stoicism.

Plato on Pleasure and the Good Life
Author: Daniel Russell
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199282846
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Daniel Russell examines Plato's subtle and insightful analysis of pleasure and explores its intimate connections with his discussions of value and human psychology. Russell offers a fresh perspective on how good things bear on happiness in Plato's ethics, and shows that, for Plato, pleasure cannot determine happiness because pleasure lacks a direction of its own. Plato presents wisdom as a skill of living that determines happiness by directing one's life as a whole, bringing aboutgoodness in all areas of one's life, as a skill brings about order in its materials. The 'materials' of the skill of living are, in the first instance, not things like money or health, but one's attitudes, emotions, and desires where things like money and health are concerned. Plato recognizes thatthese 'materials' of the psyche are inchoate, ethically speaking, and in need of direction from wisdom. Among them is pleasure, which Plato treats not as a sensation but as an attitude with which one ascribes value to its object. However, Plato also views pleasure, once shaped and directed by wisdom, as a crucial part of a virtuous character as a whole. Consequently, Plato rejects all forms of hedonism, which allows happiness to be determined by a part of the psyche that does not direct one'slife but is among the materials to be directed. At the same time, Plato is also able to hold both that virtue is sufficient for happiness, and that pleasure is necessary for happiness, not as an addition to one's virtue, but as a constituent of one's whole virtuous character itself. Plato thereforeoffers an illuminating role for pleasure in ethics and psychology, one to which we may be unaccustomed: pleasure emerges not as a sensation or even a mode of activity, but as an attitude - one of the ways in which we construe our world - and as such, a central part of every character.

Book Description
A powerful, timely exploration of the art of living and dying on our own terms by one of Australia’s most respected voices Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we were all born and we will all die.

Dr Ranjana Srivastava draws on two decades of experience to share her observations and advice on leading a meaningful life and finding dignity and composure at the end. With an emphasis on advocacy, leaving a legacy and staying true to our deepest convictions, Srivastava tells stories of strength, hope and resilience in the face of grief and offers an optimistic meditation on approaching the end of life. Intelligent, warm and deeply affecting, A Better Death is a passionate exploration of the art of living and dying well.
