Resumen del Editor
Most of what self-help "gurus" teach today has been borrowed from great thinkers of the past. Unfortunately, much of it has been commercialized, diluted, and misunderstood in our modern world.
The Five Great Philosophies of Life by William De Witt Hyde is a profound and enlightening exploration of five ancient philosophies. This book explores the wisdom that has shaped how we understand and explore "the meaning of life". Hyde invites the listener to dive deep into these five philosophies, uncovering their thought-provoking and practical applications and how to survive in a world that's out of control.
This audiobook stands out amidst a sea of vague self-help tips and superficial personal development guides. It goes beyond quick fixes and dives into the depths of ancient wisdom, presenting it in a meaningful and accessible way, especially now that it has been translated into today's easy-to-follow plain English by author Mark W. Mayhew.
It's fascinating and strangely eerie to see how accurately these ancient philosophers predicted the stress and division we experience in today's culture. Likewise, it's clear that their insights are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.
Here are a few examples:
1. Epicurus: He focused on finding inner peace and avoiding unnecessary desires. In our materialistic world, his teachings about finding contentment and not chasing external pleasures really hit home.
2. Stoicism: Stoic philosophers taught us to stay calm in tough times and see challenges as opportunities for growth. Their lessons on resilience and focusing on what we can control are perfect for our divided and chaotic world.
3. Plato and Aristotle: These guys focus on virtue, reason, and a just society. Their ideas on the dangers of irrationality, moral erosion, and the importance of a well-ordered society are more relevant than ever in our age of misinformation and ethical dilemmas.
While these ancient philosophers didn't predict our exact circumstances, their observations about human nature and society eerily match the challenges we face today. By learning from their wisdom, we can navigate the stress and divisiveness with clarity, empathy, and resilience.
Whether you're into philosophy or looking for personal transformation, The Five Great Philosophies of Life is a mind-blowing and eye-opening guide. In a world full of shallow self-help, this audiobook is a powerful remedy.
Purchase your copy today! Take action now and discover the timeless wisdom of ancient thinkers who foresaw our current challenges. This is your opportunity to bring depth and harmony back into your life. Together, we can create a better future rooted in timeless wisdom.

In his acclaimed books, renowned writer, speaker, and philosophy professor Dallas Willard explored the nature of Christian life in God's Kingdom. Yet one topic remained undisclosed: Willard's understanding of heaven and eternal life. In the months before his death, Willard engaged in moving and insightful conversations about the meaning of life and the life to come with close friend and theologian Gary Black, Jr. These inspiring dialogues were steeped in biblical theology as well as practical wisdom grounded in the here-and-now.

Historia
'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by religion. Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims.

Historia
Follow your heart. You do you. You are enough. We take these slogans for granted, but what if this path to personal happiness leads to a dead end? In Rethink Your Self, Trevin Wax encourages you to rethink some of our society’s most common assumptions about identity and the road to happiness. Most people define their identity and purpose by first looking in (to their desires), then looking around (to express their uniqueness), and finally - maybe - looking up (to add a spiritual dimension to life). Rethink Your Self proposes looking up before looking in.

While the notion that “happiness can found within oneself” has recently become popular, Buddhism has taught for thousands of years that every person is a Buddha, or enlightened being, and has the potential for true and lasting happiness. Through real-life examples, the authors explain how adopting this outlook has positive effects on one’s health, relationships, and career and gives new insights into world environmental concerns, peace issues, and other major social problems.

"What must I do to gain eternal life?” The rich man who asked this of Jesus was told to sell all he had and give to the poor. But, more importantly, he was told, “Come, follow me!” Franciscan Casey Cole challenges us to let go of something more difficult than material wealth: expectations, anxiety, comfort, wounds, enemies, power - and our very selves. Speaking from both personal and pastoral experience, he outlines the stumbling blocks that turn us away from following Jesus as true disciples. The response to “What must I do?” is simple but not easy: Let go. Now.

A provocative and positive response to Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and other New Atheists, Good Without God makes a bold claim for what nonbelievers do share and believe. Epstein's Good Without God provides a constructive, challenging response to these manifestos by getting to the heart of Humanism and its positive belief in tolerance, community, morality, and good without having to rely on the guidance of a higher being.

With a balance of wisdom, candor, and scholarly rigor, the beloved archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia, Charles J. Chaput, traces the human experience from ancient times to today to find threads of connection in our yearning for God, love, honor, beauty, truth, and immortality. He looks at our modern appetite for consumption and individualism and offers a penetrating analysis of how we got here and how we can look to our roots and our faith to find purpose each day amid the noise of competing desires.
