Resumen del Editor
How ancient skepticism can help you attain tranquility by learning to suspend judgment
Along with Stoicism and Epicureanism, Skepticism is one of the three major schools of ancient Greek philosophy that claim to offer a way of living as well as thinking. How to Keep an Open Mind provides an unmatched introduction to skepticism by presenting a fresh, modern translation of key passages from the writings of Sextus Empiricus, the only Greek skeptic whose works have survived.
While content in daily life to go along with things as they appear to be, Sextus advocated - and provided a set of techniques to achieve - a radical suspension of judgment about the way things really are, believing that such nonjudging can be useful for challenging the unfounded dogmatism of others and may help one achieve a state of calm and tranquility. In an introduction, Richard Bett makes the case that the most important lesson we can draw from Sextus's brand of skepticism today may be an ability to see what can be said on the other side of any issue, leading to a greater open-mindedness.
How to Keep an Open Mind offers a compelling antidote to the closed-minded dogmatism of today's polarized world.

Roman statesman and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote on a wide range of subjects, from Greek philosophy to moral duty to friendship. Though he considered philosophy secondary to politics and often used his writings for explicit political ends, his work has nevertheless been widely read for over two thousand years and has influenced everything from the culture of the Renaissance to the ideals of the founding fathers of the United States.

Historia
Distraction isn't a new problem. We're also not the first to complain about how hard it is to concentrate. Early Christian monks beat us to it. They had given up everything to focus on God, yet they still struggled to keep the demons of distraction at bay. But rather than surrender to the meandering of their minds, they developed powerful strategies to improve their attention and engagement. How to Focus is an inviting collection of their strikingly relatable insights and advice—frank, funny, sympathetic, and psychologically sophisticated.

Who doesn't worry sometimes that smart phones, the Internet, and TV are robbing us of time and preventing us from having a life? How can we make the most of our time on earth? In the first century AD, the Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger offered one of the most famous answers to that question in his essay "On the Shortness of Life"—a work that has more to teach us today than ever before.

Clear, revealing look at Skepticism
This book is an interesting description and translation of Sextus Empiricus books on skeptic philosophy. It is a revealing take on how someone from around the year 200 viewed skepticism in contrast to other Hellenistic schools, and while the treatment of the philosophy is straightforward, I felt that the skeptics were not as complete of a school as the stoics or the epicureans, (At least not as portrayed in this Sextus Empiricus work. ). But that’s not the fault of the author as he’s just translating the work of a late antiquity doctor. This audio version of the book is very clear despite the work being translated being sometimes rather dry. Since the topic is a little confusing, I plan to listen to it again to try to understand have the material better.

A good introduction to Sexstus' Skepticism
The title is a selection of Sextus' ideas with some context from the translator. It is a good entrance into Sextus' thoughts and skepticism, but I must say I found the arguments semantic and unpersuasive. The narration is simple and clear, but somewhat lifeless.

Complete and utter drivel.
The title is misleading. Sextus seems to be attempting to make an art of denial and cowardice. However, this is compiled of excerpts of his writings, so it is just possible that they are being taken out of context.
