I am really enjoying Irvine so far. The ideas really appeal to me, especially about trying to find joy in the things we have and suggestions on how we can do that. Also a certain level of fatalism being involved which ties in nicely with my lack of believe in free will, even if he doesn’t think they entirely meant it about the future
I can see myself getting stuck into more books on this, but would love some that go into more depth for things like negative visualisation. I guess I might need to hit the actual ancient stoics for that?

What is the main thing you like about looking into comparisons between ethical views? Does that lead to a pick and mix ethical stance personally, or is it more of an intellectual exercise?
