About this audiobook

This is a 4-book combo with the following topics in it:



Topic 1: In this book, you will find information about five different philosophers, some of them well-known, others less. But all of them had a significant impact on the ancient world and how people thought, as well as some of our modern-day ideas.

The first in line is Marcus Aurelius, a stoic emperor who reigned with righteousness and justice, according to historical records.

The second is Hipparchia, a cynic who broke through traditions and took a second look at society and its principles.



Topic 2: What are the four virtues of stoicism?

In this book, you will find fascinating thoughts on courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. We will touch on these topics and help you understand why they are so important. This can make a huge difference in your life.

Stoicism can also help people react better to each other in family relationships. With the virtues described, great improvements can be made in the way we interact with each other. This is the central theme of most of this guide.



Topic 3: Today, we will take a look at the skeptical movement and ponder its significance, development, and application. This movement is worldwide and has been acknowledged by prominent scholars and theorists.



Topic 4: In this guide, we’ll go over some of the main aspects of existentialism, depression, intelligence, and deep thinking. First, the six standard themes of existentialism will be explained. This will give you more insights in what it is, and how it is sub-divided into various issues that have been thought of by the great existentialist thinkers.

I could probably mention 50 points why I like this particular audio book, but my time is actually important, so this testimonial may not be extremely long. The 5 stars really should be 6 stars. Yes, that's it. You heard me well. I think it's so great that it deserves 6 stars. Such an interesting topic. I believe I will let my sibling or spouse listen to it. They have to understand that there are books such as this available.

This audio book is perfect. I know I am definitely not the best of critique writers, but this deserves appreciation. The writer and narrator have undoubtedly put a lot energy and time into these books. This is the ultimate mix of a great narrator and a fantastic author, who teamed up and decided to turn this book into a helpful product. Good for them.
