Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all!

 

Here is an ancient Greek quotation for your consideration and enjoyment:

‘Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.’

   Epicurus (Greek philosopher, 341- 270 B.C.)

 

More sayings, quotations and maxims of ancient Greece and how these may apply and improve your personal, family and business life are included in my recent book

‘Ancient Greek Pearls of Wisdom for the 21^ST Century’ (Amazon.com).

This book 'Ancient Greek Pearls of Wisdom for the 21st Century' is about guiding and supporting you to improve your personal, professional and business life in our current 21st century society.

This is achieved by:
1. Presenting a set of Ancient Greek Pearls of Wisdom in each area of life (wealth, governance, friendship, etc.) and proposing a solution in responding to basic questions in each such area (e.g. 'Why should I believe in the Supreme Being? and What do I need religion for in my business activities?)
2. Summarizing the impact of several noted ancient Greek thinkers to the world and the relevance of their contributions today.
3. Offering you, an Improvement Approach (The Pandora Way) based on Ancient Greek Wisdom (for each area: governance, wealth, association with others, self-management, education and family, etc.) including: over 60 'tips', more than 40 'golden rules' and numerous (over 20) 'recommendations' that you may consider and use to manage yourself, your family and your business more effectively and potentially make your life better.
The ancient Greek wisdom pearls relate to:
(a) The maxims, quotations and sayings (over 600) of the Oracle of Delphi, the Seven Sages and other well-known ancient Greek thinkers: Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Epicurus, etc.
(b) Four hymns, the Hippocratic Oath, 9 fables of Aesop, several short stories (over 17) and the works and thoughts of noted ancient Greek philosophers, poets and intellectuals, such as: Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Heraclitus, Epicurus, Pythagoras, etc.

(c) The real-life examples and stories of the every-day life and activities of ancient Greeks.

The book contains: A foreword, a preface, ten chapters (one for each area of living, such as: governance, wealth, etc.), three appendices, and a bibliography.

I would appreciate your comments if you have the time to review it.
