The Handbook of Ancient Knowledge

By Nikolas Currier Brusletto

What is happiness, and how can we achieve it? How should we navigate our emotional states, such as sorrow, anger, and anxiety? What steps can we take to ensure a happy and peaceful life? How can we reclaim control over ourselves in the pursuit of happiness?

In this book, you will be introduced to some of the greatest thinkers of antiquity, including Diogenes the Cynic, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca. Explore their powerful ideas and timeless wisdom, which have guided people through life for millennia. Learn how these philosophers argued that by radically changing our perception of the world, we can achieve happiness and regain control over destructive emotions such as anger and anxiety. Through fourteen chapters, each addressing topics like moderation, authenticity, self-control, introspection, and friendship, readers will discover a practical philosophy of personal transformation.
