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.

評分大名鼎鼎的古罗马哲学家、政治家和戏剧家塞内加是一个斯多葛;《沉思录》的作者、被《君主论》作者马基雅维利称为“五位罗马好皇帝之一”的马可·奥勒留也是一个斯多葛;19世纪叔本华的著作《人生的智慧》,明显带有斯多葛主义的腔调;《瓦尔登湖》的作者梭罗在生活中践行斯多...

評分 評分梦、现实与哲学 评《生命安宁》 我们人类真是个奇怪的动物啊,虽然是活在现实的生活与世界中,但经常会把梦作为寄托、慰藉或者动力。心情舒畅、喜悦的时候做美梦,情绪不好、糟糕的时候做恶梦,即便是平平淡淡的时候也经常有白日梦。哲学就是从现实延伸到梦里的一个工具,它帮...
比較囉嗦。Stoics就是幾個原則:1. 內化(internalize)個人目標。不以物喜不以己悲 2. 多做negative visualization,切身想一下最壞的情況,居安思危。3. 以上兩點都是為瞭獲得內心的平靜。(tranquility)
评分美亞那麼高的分,多得益於寫作技巧吧。典型美國書,囉嗦而事無巨細,核心觀點三頁紙就能說罷……沒有完整的介紹斯多葛學派的係統觀點,隻抽齣若乾光芒來藉題發揮,雖然古話今說地很不錯。被囉嗦得受不瞭瞭,沒看完,有時間繼續跳讀//20150802:總體來說不值得讀的書,沒說齣什麼其他途徑瞭解不到的卓見
评分讀瞭一半。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.
评分作者自己整理、改編的21世紀生活實用斯多葛哲學。語言不枯燥,但基本屬於高中生水平。有一些好idea,但不斷重復不斷重復重復重復,作者是復讀機還是怕讀者弱智記不住他那幾個一二三四啊?越到後麵越看不下去。去掉這些重復的,本書可以縮水一半。
评分後麵太囉嗦。也許是minimalism的始祖?預設價值是人應該追求tranquility,然後談瞭negative visualisation等幾個方法。消減瞭很多激烈情緒和欲望後,的確是和buddhism很像瞭,但也能感覺到christianity的影子,在倒數第三章的確談到瞭二者的聯係。因為相信有個god,我們的預設意義與價值就不必要隨著本性放逐,而是要剋服要逆嚮作為,為一個更高的預設價值努力
