The Stoic philosophers are all the rage right now because our culture is having trouble giving meaning to our lives. Their wisdom is powerful but seems to lead to indifference with the goal of invulnerability. Virtue Ethics is a more wholistic next step.

The pursuit of holistic health extends our lifetimes, gives us more agency in our daily lives, and also helps us develop meaning and happiness. The tools Yoga gives us are unique and wonderful, especially when they lead to meditation, but need to be supplemented with cardio and weights.

As we learn to look inside ourselves and learn who we are in order to shoot for the targets that we desire over those others desire for us, we find that God lives within us. We do find ourselves, but also the peace of the divine, and therein lies sustainable meaning in life.
