PHILOSOPHY FOR LIFE And Other Dangerous Situations

John Voce's enthusiastic narration invites listeners to consider the ideas in this detailed introduction to the Greek Stoics and their philosophy of resilience. Voce's easygoing style is perfect for a book that re-creates an ancient forum of debate and encourages conversational lessons during meals over the course of a day. While Voce is relaxed and even humorous at times, he adopts a more somber tone when recounting examples of how this ancient philosophy creates a framework for thinking that helps people overcome traumatic experiences. Voce's soothing voice solicits introspection and persuasively demonstrates how philosophy can improve, and maybe even save, lives. M.F. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2020]
