In this episode of The Philosopher's Compass podcast, I talked with Massimo Pigliucci and Gregory Lopez - both co-authors with me of the 2025 book Beyond Stoicism: A Guide to the Good Life with Stoics, Skeptics, Epicureans, and Other Ancient Philosophers (in North America) and Live Like a Philosopher: What the Ancient Greeks and Romans Can Teach Us About Living a Happy Life (in the UK). Massimo and Greg shared their journeys into philosophy, the practical applications of Stoicism in modern life, and the importance of ethics. Our conversation also explored other philosophical schools, how philosophy can help bring us meaning and purpose, and the nature of joy in Stoic practice. Watch until the end and you will hear Massimo and Greg share their recommendations for reading and resources for those interested in exploring Stoicism further.
