Stoicism isn't just about you and or or it's about your place in the world, righti i think that's what we want to come through. Book two seems to be very much more straight in there with really strong strike theory. We wait until chapter eight mention the stoy of god. It's a very theoretical book in comparison, but still man proof, hopefully much more changing to write. But we wanted to take you step here by saying 'there is a stoyf god'

This interview of Kai Whiting and Leonidas Konstantakos covers their 2021 book titled, Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In. Their book provides a short (136 pages, excluding notes) yet highly informative introduction to Stoicism as a way of life. Being Better was written for a general audience, and it is the best book I've read for two types of people. First, for those new to Stoicism, Being Better provides an excellent introduction. It includes just enough philosophical theory and history to acquaint the reader with Stoicism. The second audience is the person considering Stoicism but is unsure it's right for them. After reading Being Better, readers will know if Stoicism is a philosophical way of life worth pursuing further. Finally, I cannot think of a better book for those who want to give a short, easy-to-read, informative, and interesting book to a friend or family member who is curious about Stoicism.
