BTRIPP's review of Soupios & Mourdoukoutas' "The Ten Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living the Good Life" (670 words)
Authors Michael A. Soupios and Panos Mourdoukoutas begin the book with ten rules adopted from the teachings of ten Greek philosophers. Each successive chapter begins with a case study of a person who life is in opposition to the rule and one whose life illustrates the rule. The first rule, "Examine Life," is inspired by Plato and his classic quote, "The unexamined life isn't worth living." The subsequent pages attempt to explain the foundation of the rule.
