Most of what self-help "gurus" teach today has been borrowed from great thinkers of the past. Unfortunately, much of it has been commercialized, diluted, and misunderstood in our modern world.

The Five Great Philosophies of Life by William De Witt Hyde is a profound and enlightening exploration of five ancient philosophies. This book explores the wisdom that has shaped how we understand and explore "the meaning of life". Hyde invites the listener to dive deep into these five philosophies, uncovering their thought-provoking and practical applications and how to survive in a world that's out of control.

This audiobook stands out amidst a sea of vague self-help tips and superficial personal development guides. It goes beyond quick fixes and dives into the depths of ancient wisdom, presenting it in a meaningful and accessible way, especially now that it has been translated into today's easy-to-follow plain English by author Mark W. Mayhew.

It's fascinating and strangely eerie to see how accurately these ancient philosophers predicted the stress and division we experience in today's culture. Likewise, it's clear that their insights are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.

Here are a few examples:

1. Epicurus: He focused on finding inner peace and avoiding unnecessary desires. In our materialistic world, his teachings about finding contentment and not chasing external pleasures really hit home.

2. Stoicism: Stoic philosophers taught us to stay calm in tough times and see challenges as opportunities for growth. Their lessons on resilience and focusing on what we can control are perfect for our divided and chaotic world.

3. Plato and Aristotle: These guys focus on virtue, reason, and a just society. Their ideas on the dangers of irrationality, moral erosion, and the importance of a well-ordered society are more relevant than ever in our age of misinformation and ethical dilemmas.

While these ancient philosophers didn't predict our exact circumstances, their observations about human nature and society eerily match the challenges we face today. By learning from their wisdom, we can navigate the stress and divisiveness with clarity, empathy, and resilience.

Whether you're into philosophy or looking for personal transformation, The Five Great Philosophies of Life is a mind-blowing and eye-opening guide. In a world full of shallow self-help, this audiobook is a powerful remedy.
