Synopsis

The Wisdom & Way of the Cynics: Pocket Edition presents the sayings of and anecdotes about the ancient Greek Cynics from a variety of ancient sources separated into 41 topics for contemplation and practice. Also included is a brief introduction to the Cynics, as well as a 12-point Cynic plan of life, ways to practice following the Cynics, and conversation starters sparked by their words.

The ancient Cynics and their philosophy influenced the Greek and Roman worlds for a thousand years. What did they hope to accomplish? They wished to live a life in accord with nature, a virtuous life, one characterized by self-control, self-sufficiency, and simplicity. They wanted to be free. But theirs wasn’t a life for the wavering or fainthearted. Rather, as they portrayed it, their path was a shortcut to the heights.

Carry The Wisdom & Way of the Cynics in your pocket and return to it again and again. The benefit you’ll experience has been time-tested and people-approved.
