The Timeless Quest for a Good Life
What makes a life worth living? Two thousand years ago, Marcus Tullius Cicero tackled this question with remarkable insight that continues to resonate today. Barack Obama names Cicero's "On the Good Life" as his favorite philosophical work, while tech mogul Reid Hoffman credits these ancient Roman writings for shaping his leadership principles at LinkedIn. Even the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, when asked which historical figure she'd invite to dinner, named Cicero without hesitation. What makes this ancient thinker so compelling? Perhaps it's his radical insistence on human dignity in an age of dogma. Or maybe it's his practical wisdom for navigating moral complexities in an imperfect world. Unlike abstract philosophers who built theoretical systems, Cicero created a lived philosophy for people seeking meaning amid turbulence - a perspective that speaks directly to our own uncertain times.
