India is a land of antique civilization. India's social, financial, and cultural configurations are the products of a long process of local expansion. Indian history begins with the birth of the Indus Valley Civilization and the coming of the Aryans. India has forever been simply too big, too complicated, and too ethnically subtle to let anyone empire control it for long.
The ancient art of history is known to be the land of epics and myths, two of the world’s maximum epics find their birth in Indian settings - the Ramayana, depicting the exploit of lord Ram, and the Mahabharata detailing the war between Kauravas and Pandavas, both offspring of King Bharat. Ramayana traces lord Ram’s journey from exile to the rescue of his wife Sita from the demonic clutches of Ravana with the help of his simian companion. Singing the virtues of Dharma(duty), the Gita, one of the most price scriptures in Indian Mythology, is the advice given by Shri Krishna to the grief laden Arjun, who is terrified at the thought of killing his kin, on the battle ground.
A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy adapts some of the ancient Stoics' best tricks for happiness and brings them into a modern context.
This book is actually for everyone—whether you're philosophically-minded or not. It's all about being happier and having more control over how you act in response to life's difficulty. People need a philosophy of life -- a plan for what they desire to get out of living. In Irvine's opinion, everyone should have a cohesive "philosophy of life" to follow, and his goal is to present one with A Guide to the Good Life. But you don't have to think of this book as a huge life change.
The key to pleasure only wants things that you already have or that you can be sure of obtaining. Instead of changing the world to fit your desires, change your desires. The only method you can be certain of obtaining something is if you have full control.
