Everything Has Two Handles: The Stoic's Guide to the Art of Living







I have long read the Stoics, and thought they have a philosophy of life that can benefit us all.  But Stoicism, as an ancient philosophy, must be updated for modern audiences. 

Ronald Pies has done just that in Everything Has Two Handles: The Stoic's Guide to the Art of Living.  Pies shows the links of Stoicism to CBT, Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism.  Certain Stoic ideas and techniques can be helpful to weather life’s difficulties, and can augment our modern religious experience.  Pies has written a clear book that provides added shifts to Stoic philosophy for our life and time.
