“How Can I Live a Good Life?” combines Western and Eastern philosophy and invites the reader to follow the path of the great thinkers and teachers of the wisdom of the ancient world: Seneca, Epicurus, Confucius, Lao-Tse, Patañjali, Siddhartha Gautama, and many others. It’s a matter of self-awareness, dealing with the passage of time and one’s relationship to other people. That’s how we find out how we can live in a more relaxed fashion, more happily, and with more self-awareness. Using keywords like time, destiny, friendship, independence, and more, Albert Kitzler presents stories and texts of the great teachers of wisdom, who are questioned regarding their meaning for our everyday lives. References to current research in neurology and other disciplines build a bridge to our present day. Ideas for further thought help to transfer these realizations to our own lives.
