RE: A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy - Book Club #20

In response to the question raised above...

“In other words, of the things in life you might pursue, which is the thing you believe to be most valuable?”

To me, I would say that the things that matter most are God, family and community.
Emotional intelligence is key towards leading a successful life. Indeed, Stoicism is more than what people used to hold of it.

The answers from people to the above question would simply be a reflection of their Value-system.
My grand goal in living is just to be happy and happiness is intrinsic.

Sort:  

Those are very valuable things! What do you typically do on a regular basis to strive to better serve those things and deepen your relationship with them?

I also agree with happiness being intrinsic. I think to be truly happy, you must have a deep respect and gratitude for the things that you have in life like family, community, relationships, good health, etc.
