Many religions and philosophical systems around the world have similar goals, even though they may use different words and approaches to achieve them. They all aim for a life filled with virtue, peace and flourishing.
Ben Aldrige, in his new book Seriously Happy, explains how anyone, anywhere can benefit from the ancient wisdom to live a good life. Ben Aldrige offers a brief overview of Buddhism, Cynicism and Taoism as well as Stoicism, Epicureanism and Aristotelianism. He also shares practices and challenges that are inspired by each philosophy. These include walking a banana and listening to music without music.
