About This Book
In More Than Happiness, philosopher Antonia Macaro explores what Buddhism and Stoicism can genuinely offer modern readers — beyond simplified mindfulness trends or pop-stoic slogans.
Rather than encouraging blind acceptance of ancient traditions, Macaro critically examines which teachings remain relevant for a sceptical, contemporary world. She explores ideas such as:
• Accepting what lies beyond our control • Monitoring emotional reactions • Questioning attachment to material success • Living ethically rather than merely pursuing pleasure
Drawing on both Buddhist and Stoic philosophy, this book reframes the “good life” as something deeper than personal happiness.
Ideal For:
• Readers interested in secular Buddhism • Philosophy lovers • Those drawn to Stoicism • Critical thinkers exploring mindfulness • Anyone questioning modern “self-help” culture
