    The Nicomachean Ethics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
    In the Nicomachean Ethics (so called after their first editor, Aristotle's son Nicomachus) Aristotle sets out to discover the good life for man: the life of happiness or eudaimonia. Happiness for Aristotle is the activity of the soul in accordance with virtue. Virtue is shown in the deliberate choice of actions as part of a worked-out plan of life, a plan which takes a middle course between excess and deficiency. This is the famous doctrine of the golden mean; courage, for example, is a mean between cowardice and rashness, and justice between a man's getting more or less than his due. The supreme happiness, according to Aristotle, is to be found in a life of philosophical contemplation; but this is only possible for a few, and a secondary kind of happiness is available in a virtuous life of political activity and public magnificence. ungekürzt.

    Hide and Seek: The Psychology of Self-Deception, Second Edition (Eudaimonia Series, Book 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
    Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.... (Fyodor Dostoevsky) Self-deception is common and universal, and the cause of most human tragedies. Of course, the science of self-deception can help us to live better and get more out of life. But it can also cast a murky light on human nature and the human condition, for example, on such exclusively human phenomena as anger, depression, fear, pity, pride, dream making, love making, and god making, not to forget age-old philosophical problems such as selfhood, virtue, happiness, and the good life. Nothing, in the end, could possibly be more important. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander Doddy. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/153466/bk_acx0_153466_sample.mp3.

    The Ethics of Aristotle, Hörbuch, Digital, 369min
    In this 12-lecture meditation on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, you'll uncover the clarity and ethical wisdom of one of humanity's greatest minds. Father Koterski shows how and why this great philosopher can help you deepen and improve your own thinking on questions of morality and leading the best life. The aim of these lectures is to provide you with a clear and thoughtful introduction to Aristotle as a moral philosopher. After absorbing some important background information designed to introduce you to Aristotle's career and general approach to the various fields of knowledge, you turn to the ten books (today we would call them chapters) of this brief but towering work. Throughout, you'll consider Aristotle's account of the four main virtues of courage, moderation, justice, and prudence; his claims that happiness (eudaimonia) is the real goal of life; his explanations of how and why people attain- or fall short of- ethical excellence; his differences with his teachers Plato and Socrates over the hard question of what knowing rightly has to do with acting rightly; where Aristotle's thought fits into the long history of ethical reflection; and much more. Prepare for an illuminating, mind-broadening, and thought-provoking learning experience, and a chance to get up close and personal with one of Western philosophy's founding fathers. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English.

    Stoic: A Practical Guide to Living a Good Life Through Stoicism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
    Can a 2,300-year old philosophical movement change the way you react to a promotion or a breakup? Life is a chain of experiences. Some cause pleasure while others cause pain. And your brain is programmed to desire pleasure and fear pain. That is why you bought a new car or that expenisve couch or why you went on that $10,000 vacation. Fear of pain is an equally powerful motivator. You try to avoid pain at any cost and by any means necessary. What if you could overcome pain and pleasure and live every moment as it presents itself? What if you could harness the power of your mind and not let pain or pleasure control your decision-making process? Welcome to the school of stoicism: the system of personal ethics that will help you life a simpler & happier life. Super-short history lesson: Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic Philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the 3rd century B.C. Stoics believed that in order to find the path to eudaimonia (or total happiness), one had to be indifferent to the desire of pleasure and fear of pain. It was based on a system of logic, personal ethics, and a deep connection with nature. Now let’s come back to the 21st Century: In a world dominated by the insta-fame of social media, new technologies that make life easier, and a fast-paced, hectic lifestyle, stoicism is the answer to the most crucial question; “How can I be happy?” This is not your typical stoicism book!Unlike other stoic philosophy books that only teach you why it is important to become a stoic, this practical stoicism happiness guide will help you understand how to think like a stoic and life your life according to the principles of stoicism. By the end of this eye-opening stoicism book, you will be able to: Start having reasonable expectations from yourself and others around you Transform your daily habits and your emotional ungekürzt.

    Stoicism and the Art of Happiness: What Is Stoicism (Emotional Intelligence, Book 5) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 206min
    Stoicism is much more than just not showing emotion. It is about centering and controlling yourself. This does not mean repression. Actually, stoicism is, in many ways, the highest form of expressing your true self because when a person is following the practice, they act according to their core values, reaching for "eudaimonia" or your highest self.The first step to this is to take responsibility for what you do and say. People are going to act rudely and upset you at times, and more often than not, this is more of an expression of how they feel about themselves than about you. If someone insults you, that is their choice. It is yours to react, and if you lose your temper, you must accept ownership of that. Other people can only control you if you let them. Channeling stoicism would mean to ignore the bait. This may seem like being passive, but if you respond to this person, it will only result in an argument, which will be a waste of your time. If you do not react to their words, you are not dignifying them and, thus, you have rendered them meaningless.A stoic does not fall into the “victim mentality” in which a person points the finger at other people when something goes wrong in their lives, knowing that only keeps you stuck where you are at today. They also live according to their core values. This is also called "living with arete". This does have to mean morally superior. When you dive into your creativity and express yourself, you are living with arete. It means gaining new experiences and, therefore, wisdom. It is putting maximum effort into everything you do so you can feel proud of it.Finally, a stoic focuses solely on the things they can control and are content with where they are right now. Of course, you have goals you want to achieve, and that is a good thing. However, it can become a detrimental force if you spend most of your time thinking about what you do not have, and it depresses you. Time spent in this mind-set is a ungekürzt. Language: English.
