$19.95

Here's what you'll get in working through
The Cynics Workbook & Journal

Are you looking for a thoughtful way to contemplate your life?—where you are and where you’re going? Do you want wisdom for living well and a way to practice genuine happiness?


The Cynics Workbook & Journal presents 30 topics for reflection, practice, and growth.


Join the ancient Greek Cynic philosophers in learning how to live well and aim for genuine happiness with the help of questions, prompts, exercises, and action points. Their own lives, sayings, and practices lead the way.


But why the Cynics?


The ancient Greek Cynics and their philosophy and way of life influenced the Greek and Roman worlds for a thousand years. What did they hope to accomplish? They wished to live a life in accord with nature, a virtuous life, one characterized by self-control, self-sufficiency, and simplicity. They wanted to be free. But theirs wasn’t a life for the wavering or fainthearted. Rather, as they portrayed it, their path was a shortcut to the heights.


Besides the 30 topics and corresponding questions, prompts, exercises, and action points, there is a brief introduction to the Cynics and their philosophy, as well as some longer selections from the Cynics, Cynic points of wisdom, and a 12-point Cynic plan of life.


An ancient Greek oracle calls on us to “Know yourself.” To do so is the very first step in living a better life. The next is practice—the practice of living those points of wisdom and ways of life that we know will lead to and be happiness.


Let’s do this with the wisdom and way of the Cynics. And soon, with one act added to another and yet another, we’ll find that we and our lives have shifted toward excellence, toward who and what we know deep down we are meant to be.

Ancient Epicurean Wisdom & Ways for Living Well & Aiming at Genuine Happiness

$19.95

Here's what you'll get in working through
Epicurus Workbook & Journal

Are you looking for a thoughtful way to contemplate your life?—where you are and where you’re going? Do you want wisdom for living well and a way to practice genuine happiness?


The Epicurus Workbook & Journal presents 31 topics for reflection, practice, and growth.


Join the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus in learning how to live well and aim for genuine happiness with the help of questions, prompts, exercises, and action points. His own life, sayings, and practices lead the way.


But why Epicurus?


For well over half a millennium, the teachings of Epicurus (and Epicureanism) furnished the guiding light for a great number of human souls. His was a new way of looking at things that could explain reality, calm fears, and provide tranquility. As the Roman Torquatus later testified, “Epicurus has guided all sane-minded people into the path of calm and tranquility—a quiet and happy life.” He continues to enlighten people today, inspiring many to practice a better way of life.


Besides the 31 topics and corresponding questions, prompts, exercises, and action points, there is a brief introduction to Epicurus and his philosophy, as well as Epicurus’ Letter to Menoeceus, points of wisdom, and a 12-point Epicurean plan of life.


An ancient Greek oracle calls on us to “Know yourself.” To do so is the very first step in living a better life. The next is practice—the practice of living those points of wisdom and ways of life that we know will lead to and be happiness.


Let’s do this with the wisdom and way of Epicurus. And soon, with one act added to another and yet another, we’ll find that we and our lives have shifted toward excellence, toward who and what we know deep down we are meant to be.

You’ll still be on the way, of course. But that’s okay. It’s the journey that counts. Doing well, being excellent or virtuous, says Aristotle, is an act. It’s something we do. So, let’s get to it with the help of the ancient Greeks!
