About this audiobook

This is a 15-book bundle with the following topics in it:

Topic 1: Confucius has definitely left a mark on the world of Eastern philosophy. His ideas were revolutionary and impressive enough for people to follow him, record his works, and start a group of devoted followers. In the first chapter, more light will be shed on this.

The second philosopher mentioned in this guide, is Aristotle, a sharp-minded, focused thinker who received a name with fame. His clinical examinations and his references to Plato and Socrates are known in Greek history.

Topic 2: Stoicism is a concept that has been studied more and more lately. The philosophy that dates back all the way to Socrates has been significant in many people’s lives. So, today, we will expand on what stoicism is, where it originated from, and how you can use it in your life to become a better person and achieve more.

Topic 3: We will also explore the concepts of criticism, parapsychology, the role of science in skepticism, and the subtle art of being positive while being skeptical. Skepticism helps us think critically and question statements and claims, which helps us get closer to the truth. If this is something you’d like to get better at, then I encourage you to take a look at this book.

Topic 4: Critical thinking means, among others, that you look at multiple sides of a controversial topic, that you can stay objective and put away your biases until you have reached a firm conclusion based on verifiable facts. This skill is highly valuable in job interviews, relationships, and everyday life.

Topic 5: In today’s guide, we’ll discuss the nature of existentialism and nihilism, two co-existing philosophies that have embraced by many. Nietzsche and Kierkegaard play a major role in these movements, so their works will be quoted and explained.

Ratings and reviews

Multidimensional cringe. Not only does one of the authors refer to psychoanalysis as if it was equal to astrology and mentions Freud exclusively as a philosopher, fails to provide meaningful reflections on Nietzsche's work, but also one of the narrators butchers names of writers without any clue who they are and how to pronounce their names or their works... it's not worth the money they are asking for this, nor does it worth time wasted on listening to this.

5 stars! By far the best thing that's happened to me this weekend. If I would need to outline it, it would be simply in one word: Brilliant! The audiobook clarifies a number of points of view very well. It also dives much deeper in to the information. My favorite sections were definitely the last chapters, in which the final thought became obvious.

I was interested in this topic, so I bought this book. This is definitely a great book. The best parts of this book (I forgot which chapters) suggested the most to me. When I heard these things, I instantly knew I had actually made the right option. This book spoke to me.
