Hallo Ingo! Danke für deine Nachricht als Antwort zu diesem Post. Ja stimmt dazu, Pigliucci ist als Übersetzung von Epiktet gut gelesen. Sehr praktisch und angewendet. @philipp.gieschen s Post ist eine schöne Einführung für Intro-Bücher auf Stoizismus. Mir gefallen außerdem Kai Whitings Being Better und William Irvines A Guide to the Good Life zu lesen. Bitte verpass nicht vorbei: http://www.stoikerpodcast.de/ EIn Podcast über Stoizismus auf Deutsch! Von Stoiker, insbesonderes einer Professor von Philosophie und die Geschichte davon und zwei Leiter von deutschen Stoizismus-Gruppen (nicht in Berlin).

She also explains with solid examples the three disciplines in the context of how children can use these.

ApparentStoic is a worthwhile blog/channel to follow. This interview's really poignant about parenting advice too. As they say, there's a lot of contradictory claims about parenting in the parenting advice industry, but Stoicism can provide an anchor, a foundation for parenting, and then of course you can always take from contemporary scholarly and expert advice and fit that into the Stoic framework. Also the point about how our society today is built around and for adults, not for children. She uses the example of a baby crying on a plane and everyone rolling their eyes and getting annoyed. But she points out, "That's what babies do." Definitely recommending listening to the full interview. Thanks Tobias!

Greetings! So I thought this was a well-explained essay on the differences between passions and other emotions or other indifferent events. It focuses on these Stoic notions and juxtaposes them with Epicureans' ideas of love and friendship and how the Stoics thought of these. http://www.themontrealreview.com/2009/The-Stoics-and-the-Epicureans-on-Friendship-Sex-and-Love.php

Hi Philipp, thanks for the recommendations! Mmm would absolutely agree about the classics. However, I read them first; to me Epictetus is a must for the newly initiated. But I do agree with the point that they cannot be read out of context. If you start with any of the classics, read in conjunction works by Pigliucci, Sellars, Robertson, and others who have greatly contributed to the modern Stoicism movement and the study of Stoicism at large. Also love the podcast list. A good start for any who wish to dip their toes into Stoicism. I think your recommendations are also a good start for another very important reason: that any good Stoic knows that to be a Stoic is not an only an individualistic task, it is also a journey together with other Stoics, with the Stoic community. Like the school of Stoics founded by Zeno and Chrysippus, it's essential we walk this path by sharing resources and stories. This is also an unfortunate casualty of the 20th century self-help movement, that we have forgotten the social and communal part of it. Nice first post by the way!
