A New Book By Adam W. Schindler

Embracing Timeless Wisdom in the Modern Age

Throughout the centuries, humanity has been driven by the desire to live better, fuller, and more meaningful lives. Across different cultures, religions, and philosophies, the pursuit of virtue has always been at the heart of this quest. In a rapidly evolving world—technologically, socially, and culturally—many might argue that the classical virtues of ancient philosophy are outdated or irrelevant. However, as we navigate the complexities of modern life, these timeless virtues offer a compass, guiding us toward integrity, fulfillment, and moral excellence.

This book explores classical virtues but with a twist: each day contains a story from history and distills the wisdom of ancient philosophers into relevant examples from world art, science, poetry, literature, religion, culture, military and corporate history, and some popular culture. Each day, you will see how these principles—often given new names—remain essential for leading a good life today.
