Dr. Irvine spent 38 years teaching at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, having recently earned Professor Emeritus status there. Dr. Irvine earned his BA in Mathematics and Philosophy from the University of Michigan and an MA and PhD in Philosophy at UCLA.
William Irvine was a professor at Wright State University and is the author of seven books, including his best-seller, "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy." During our conversation, Bill talks about the history of the Stoics, an ancient school of philosophy that began in Athens in 300 B.C. He also talks about the psychological training that the Stoics encouraged, including negative visualization, a practice aimed at reducing the human tendency for insatiability and increasing our gratitude for the many gifts of our lives.Bill's book helped to launch the modern renaissance of Stoicism. The Stoic's message - including those of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and Musonius Rufus - emphasized the importance of intentional struggle and temporary hardship, to align one's body and one's mind with the reality of life itself. This message is evergreen in creating resilient and capable people, and ever more important in our increasingly super-convenient, super-addicted "Brave New World."Stoicism reminds me of a quote from Veritas Savannah:“Prepare your child for the road, not the road for your child.”------------Support via VenmoSupport on SubstackSupport on Patreon------------Show notesRate on SpotifyRate on Apple PodcastsSocial media and all episodes

Read the full transcript here. Why is Stoicism important and useful today? What are the main ideas of Stoicism? How can you tell if you're "living well"? And if you're not living well, then how can you move yourself in that direction? How can we learn to accept and embrace life as it comes without losing our desire to improve ourselves and the world around us? Do people vary in the degree to which Stoic practices might be beneficial for them? What's the relationship between Stoicism and CBT? What do Stoics have to say about the value or disvalue of emotions? Has Stoicism changed much since its inception? What does it mean to be a "reasonable" person? What are some clear signs that a person is a thinker or a feeler? How might we modify social media and/or ourselves so that our cognitive biases can't as easily be weaponized for political or economic ends? It's easy to see cognitive biases in others; but how can we learn to see them in ourselves?William B. Irvine is emeritus professor of philosophy at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, USA. He is the author of eight books that have been translated into more than twenty languages. His A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy played a key role in the Stoic renaissance that has taken place in recent years.

And when asked what he had learned from philosophy, Diogenes replied, “To be prepared for every fortune.“— William B. Irvine, A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic JoyDiogenes is the most famous of the Cynics, a branch of philosophy that served as the precursor for traditional Stoicism. Diogenes was a bizarre fellow for a number of reasons. He lived inside a barrel and shunned any form of luxurious living. Diogenes only ate when he was starving hungry and drank when he was gaspingly thirsty. This allowed him to enjoy a simple cup of water as if it was the world's most expensive wine.The core of Diogenes' thought was based on his observation that “bad men obey their lusts as servants obey their masters,” and because we are so bad at controlling our desires, we can never find contentment. This is why Diogenes was so intent on being the master of his own lust and attachments.Perhaps Diogenes' greatest and most memorable display of Stoic superhero strength was in his meeting with Alexander the Great. Alexander was taught by Aristotle and had brilliant admiration for great thinkers. One day when riding through Greece Alexander encountered Diogenes, a philosopher he had heard many great things about. The legend states that upon meeting Diogenes, Alexander asked the philosopher if there was anything he could give him.Alexander at this point in time was the most powerful man in the world, and he was extremely hot-tempered. There were stories of Alexander having his best friends executed for disrespecting him. So when he offered Diogenes a gift, nobody would have expected the words that would have come out of the strange philosopher's mouth:“Yes,” said Diogenes, “stand a little out of my sun.”Diogenes was so steadfast in his Stoic way of living he even risked the wrath of Alexander the Great to demonstrate it. Diogenes was not someone who just lived his philosophy, he was continuously on the lookout for opportunities to teach it and his meeting with Alexander presented one.It worked. So taken aback by this reply, and admired the courage and wit of Diogenes so much, he said to his followers laughing, “But truly if I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.” ⚡️ STOIC TOOLS:

He is currently at work on a book about thinking critically, but with an open mind, in the age of the internet."Happiness is another interesting thing. I've been thinking about this lately. You know, people take aim at happiness. I don't know if you can actually do that, if you can have a recipe for attaining happiness. Happiness is something that just happens as a byproduct of something else going on in your life, and that is having a day where you're experiencing equanimity. You don't have this abundance of negative emotions, where you value the things you've already got, where you value the relationships you've got, where you feel good inside your own body. You like being who you are. And I think, if all that happens, then suddenly, you know, it'll dawn on me. 'Gosh, I guess I'm happy...'

"I stumbled across Stoic philosophy and thought it was just wonderful stuff. So, I'd had the exact wrong idea of what it was. Most people do because if they look it up in the dictionary, a Stoic is this glum individual who simply suppresses all emotions, but that isn't what the Stoics were at all. They came up with these really brilliant psychological strategies for retaining our equanimity in the face of life's setbacks, challenges, and tests. And they're brilliant strategies. They are easy to test drive. Stoicism has a very low price of admission... Over the course of a three-day weekend, you can learn what you need. You can test drive it. You can find out what it is.

So this would be in the first century B.C. and the first century A.D. in Rome. And the four big names are Marcus Aurelius (who was also an emperor), Seneca (who was also a playright and the first century equivalent of a billionaire), an interestingly complex guy, and Epictetus (who was a successful head of a school of philosophy). Fourth name (less known, but a very important Roman Stoic) is Musonius Rufus, who was actually the teacher of Epictetus. And the interesting thing is, all four of them, you can pick up and start reading them, and you will very quickly sort of say – Oh, I see what they're doing. And I see why it's relevant to my life.

Difficult times are an inevitable part of life; you are going to face times of trouble. In this episode, Craig discusses how applying a simple idea from Stoicism helped him get through an especially troubling time, the illness and loss of a loved one. He also describes how using reason, and your knowledge of what is and is not within your control, can help you reduce worry, anxiety, unhappiness and other negative emotions.

Today on episode 25 let's give a hot stew welcome to climber and all-around curious guy, Erich Purpur. Erich works in the university system in Virginia, finding time in the margins to climb up to V10 and 5.13c. Recently, Erich is beginning to envision a potential life of financial independence.But achieving financial independence may only be the beginning of the next journey.Erich originally caught my attention because of his insightful line of questioning. He had a few investing questions to be sure, but what captivated me was his deeper questions about “why.”Why do we bother to save this much money?How do we come to common ground on money mindsets between our families, friends, and romantic partners?Why do men and women feel differently on the concept of early retirement?After all, most of us now know that simply building wealth is far from a sure path to contentment. While I wouldn't consider this a reader case study per se, a conversation with Erich felt like a representative sample of many of the broader themes of this lifestyle choice.And on that note, this certainly was a conversation. While I'm accustomed to sitting back and asking all the questions, Erich turned this one around on me. In the end, this felt like a fun fireside chat. I really enjoyed the informal nature of this one. Topics Discussed with Erich PurpurMotivations for the pursuit of financial independenceShifting a natural tendency towards saving to a plan of investingAddressing different money mindsets in romantic relationshipsThe beauty of “paying yourself first”Early retirement mindset differences between men and womenThe dilemma between early retirement and part-time, or passion-based workThe incredible value of being a simple personHow to live our best life without full financial independence (it's a spectrum!)The FIRE movement as SCANDALOUS!

Với cuốn sách A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy tác giả William Irvine khẳng định cuộc sống của nhiều người trong chúng ta sẽ hạnh phúc hơn nhiều nếu chúng ta trở thành những người Khắc kỉ.

Ba trong số đó đặc biệt quan trọng: hình dung tiêu cực, nội tại hóa mục tiêu và thường xuyên tiết chế bản thân. -- Original: 3 Stoic Strategies For Becoming Happier

In today's episode we pause to reflect on the lessons we've learned in the first year of The Good Life Podcast. In this retrospective, your host, Sean Murray revisits some of the most impactful guests and topics from 2020. There are a couple of motivations for this. First, we launched in January of 2020, so we're also celebrating the first year of The Good Life Podcast. Second, the audience has grown tremendously since we launched. Many of you who may have joined in the summer or in fall might not be aware of the episodes and guests from earlier in the year. This may alert you to a topic of interest which might motivate you to go back and listen to an earlier episode. Third, as you know, one of the recurring themes we heard from the guests this year, as they shared with their thoughts on how to live the Good Life, is this idea of taking time for reflection. Whether it's writing in a journal or going for a walk, or whatever it is that you like to do, it's beneficial to set aside time periodically to revisit our recent experiences, conversations and reading to just reflect on the lessons we can draw from them.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Brian Portnoy explains the concept of “Hedonic Adaptation” and why it is so important to understanding happinessRyan Hanley explains the two ways Adam Smith tells us we can live our lives, and which path leads to true happiness and flourishingElizabeth Samet explains what Seneca means when he seeks “tranquility” and why it is so important for living the good lifeWilliam Irvine explains why it is important we adapt a “philosophy of life” and why he chose StoicismMichael Erwin explains what he means by solitude, and why it's so importantJames Mustich talks about finding the next book to read and why we need to follow our instinctsScott Hambrick makes the case for reading the Great BooksJonathan Clements talks about the role money and wealth play in achieving happinessBOOKS AND RESOURCESThe Geometry of Wealth: How to Shape a Life of Money & Meaning by Brian PortnoyOur Great Purpose: Adam Smith on Living a Better Life by Ryan Patrick HanleyLeadership: Essential Writings by Our Greatest Thinkers by Elizabeth SametA Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William B.

Happy almost new year! In today's episode, I'm taking a look back at the epic year of 2020 and all the twists, turns, failures, and achievements. The first 10 minutes or so, I share a look back at the year that started with earning a “2 Comma Club” award at Funnel Hacking Live for earning more than one million dollars in one of our funnels. And then, spoiler alert, just a couple months later, our monthly recurring revenue was wiped out 80% during COVID shutdowns. I talk about the breakdown and rebuild of my agency as well as a lot of personal challenges and growth that happened throughout the year. “This was supposed to be a milestone year and one I worked hard for, but at the end of the day, none of the reward or success is owed to me. If I wanted to have something left, I knew I needed to let it go.” Then, I share 10 of the authors, podcasters, and resources that were invaluable to me and my business during 2020. I hope some of these books, podcasts, resources, and strategies are helpful. If you find one that makes a positive impact for you in the new year, I'd love to know about it. Thanks for listening to today's episode. I'm really grateful you're here and I'm looking forward to the new year.

Is modern Stoicism just self help rebranded for tech bros or something more interesting? Rebecca went to Stoicon Athens to meet the Stoics and imbibe some wisdom only a few miles away from the very porch where Stoic philosophy first kicked off. While Cat put the ancient philosophy to the test and tried living like a Stoic for a week. We talk about our experiences compare Stoicism to other philosophies and engage in an impromptu (much needed) Stoic inspired therapy session. Exploring esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives we're The Seeker and The Skeptic. If you enjoy the show, we'd love your support to help us keep exploring these topics and bringing our research, experiences and discussion to you.

In this episode I am joined by my wife Hannah Braime to discuss William B. Irvine's book, A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy. This book argues that the philosophy of stoicism is relevant to modern life and can be used to help you live well, according to your own values. We recorded the episode for the Psychology Book Club. I am sharing it here because the themes are highly relevant to The Voluntary Life. Show Notes: A Guide To The Good Life by William B. Irvine Psychology Book Club Hannah Braime
