读过《Stoic Wisdom》 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
不要读这本书。如果你对斯多葛主义感兴趣，去读塞内卡，西塞罗，爱比克泰德，马克 奥勒留，或者其他当代的Stoic作者比如Ryan Holiday吧。这本书不值得读。我对书的批评：1. 作者夹杂大量的与哲学无关的政治观点，且毫无必要，毫不掩饰，毫无廉耻的偏向美国的政治左派。2. 她在书中披露自己鼓励学生养成受害者心态，保持痛苦状态，而完全没有鼓励学生用斯多葛主义去让自己摆脱或战胜痛苦，获得成长。3. 对斯多葛主义的评价居然有这个哲学是来自于dead white men，看不惯其在硅谷大亨中，在男性中，在白人至上中流行，一副认罪者姿态夹杂清高感，令人作呕。

How do we find calm in times of stress and uncertainty? How do we cope with sudden losses or find meaning in a world that can easily rob us of what we most value? Drawing on the wisdom of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and others, Nancy Sherman's Stoic Wisdom presents a compelling, modern Stoicism that teaches grit, resilience, and the importance of close relationships in addressing life's biggest and smallest challenges.
A renowned expert in ancient and modern ethics, Sherman relates how Stoic methods of examining beliefs and perceptions can help us correct distortions in what we believe, see, and feel. Her study reveals a profound insight about the Stoics: They never believed, as Stoic popularizers often hold, that rugged self-reliance or indifference to the world around us is at the heart of living well. We are at home in the world; they insist that we are connected to each other in cooperative efforts. We build resilience and goodness through our deepest relationships.
Bringing ancient ideas to bear on 21st-century concerns--from workers facing stress and burnout to first responders in a pandemic, from soldiers on the battlefield to citizens fighting for racial justice--Sherman shows how Stoicism can help us fulfill the promise of our shared humanity.
In nine lessons that combine ancient pithy quotes and daily exercises with contemporary ethics and psychology, Stoic Wisdom is a field manual for the art of living well.
