Publisher's summary

Live a life of meaning

Do you aspire to live a life based on contemplation and attain wisdom through the principles of virtue? If so, this book is for you.

There might have awakened in you the impulse to slow down and look at life from a different vantage point. Or you might feel that life comprises a deeper truth, to know which one must delve into the abysmal depths of the self.

Whatever the case may be, in this book, Jack Beasley shares two pertinent philosophies, Buddhism and Stoicism. They can help you profoundly know yourself from within and project that knowledge outwardly in the form of original experiences.

With this powerful book, you can:

  • Understand the philosophies of Buddhism and Stoicism
  • Know the precepts of awakening and mindfulness
  • Discover what is karma and its connection with life
  • Find out about fear and anxiety and know how to deal with them
  • Internalize what Buddhist meditation means and how it is relevant
  • Delve deeper into understanding your emotions and their significance
  • Learn to apply the the principles of Stoic virtue in everyday life
  • Evaluate the concept of virtue and how it is different from worldly conventions
  • Relate Stoicism with various worldly philosophies, and know each
  • Use Stoic principles to lead a collected and balanced life

Through contemplation and knowledge, you can live a more meaningful life. As with every quest, this, too, will take focus and require a mind that is open to exploration.

Knowing the lives of certain influential individuals, we know that it is possible.

You would not have read thus far if you did not feel the nudge from within to know more. As long as the flame of curiosity keeps burning to feed an inner knowing, you will be well on your way to get closer to your real, inner self.

Practical and helpful
