About this episode
Massimo Pigliucci discusses his new book on practical philosophies for living a good life.
Season 5, Episode 5: Massimo Pigliucci on Choosing a Good Life Massimo Pigliucci was the first guest we ever had on the WeCroak Podcast. In that episode we talked about his adult decision to commit to Stoicism as a life philosophy. Today, we talk about his new book, “How to Live a Good Life,” about all the best practical philosophies for living that he could find and what a life living along those principles might be like with guest essays from thinkers who have lived it. It’s like a menu of life philosophies for people who want to choose their path more proactively.
