Essential Life Skills
Face the Essential Truths through The Consolation of Philosophy
Theme-by-theme chapter breakdowns of the essential life skills in this classic work. 6 deep dives tracing how Boethius's story teaches skills you can use today.
Who Remains After the Title
Sit with Philosophy's first question in Book I: have you forgotten who you are now that the titles are gone?
A Wheel That Only Rose
Hear Book II name the job: Fortune gives and takes, and a wheel that only rose would not be a wheel.
Goods That Create Hunger
Watch Book III strip wealth, power, rank, and pleasure as goods that create appetite instead of rest.
When the Wicked Hold Office
Stay with Boethius in Book IV: virtue punished, crime elevated, and the question that will not go away.
Seen, and Still Choosing
Hold Book V's frame: God's sight does not cancel the choice you still have to make in the cell.
The Song That Feeds the Wound
Expel the muses of Book I: grief that only rehearses the wound is not medicine.
