To the citizens of ancient Athens, Diogenes was "The Dog"-a beggar who urinated in public and mocked the pretensions of Plato.

Diogenes The Cynic: A Beginner's Guide moves beyond the famous anecdotes to explore the rigorous intellectual system of Cynicism. It challenges the modern reader to confront uncomfortable truths: that our desire for status is a trap, our possessions possess us, and our fear of social disapproval is the only real prison.
Inside this guide to the "shortcut to virtue," you will discover:
This is not a dry history of ideas. It is a toolkit for the modern non-conformist. Whether you are exploring minimalism, deepening your understanding of Stoicism, or simply exhausted by the performance of modern life, Diogenes offers a path to absolute freedom.
Pick up the lamp. Search for the honest life. Discover why the man with nothing claimed to be happier than the King of Persia.
