Option 1:

Write a journal entry in reaction to ‘The Prison Walls’ by Yuval Harari. What ‘imagined realities’ do you see at work in your life? Is this a disturbing or liberating idea for you? How might you live differently as a result of this understanding? Give specific details in response to each question.

Option 2:

Explore the primary source readings under the tab: ‘What is the Good Life?’ Included are writings from:

• Epicurus (Principal Doctrines, Letter to Menoeceus)
• Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics)
• Marcus Aurelius (The Meditations)
• Thomas a Kempis (The Imitation of Christ)
• Henry David Thoreau (Walden)

Write a journal entry in reaction to 5 pages from any one of the above works. Identify the pages you read. What ideas attract you? What ideas do not? Is the advice you are reading good guidance for your life? Is it a philosophy you would recommend for everyone in the modern world?
