  We all have moments, hours, days when our minds are stuck somewhere unpleasant that we can't get out of and it feels like we're living in a constant state of worry. We may be thinking about what is happening tomorrow or five minutes ago. We may wonder about things that happened in the past and regret them. As a result, we lose sight of what's happening now-now-now. And because we're so focused on our worries rather than the current moment, these anxious thoughts just continue to feed off each other as they go 'round and round in circles in our heads. 
  As a result, we may feel that our minds are always racing and it's impossible for us to slow them down. This takes us away from the present moment.

  The Dangerous Life and Ideas of...

  Jean-Manuel Roubineau

  The ancient philosopher Diogenes—nicknamed "The Dog" and decried by Plato as a "Socrates gone mad"—was widely praised and idealized as much as he was mocked and vilified. A favorite subject of sculptors and painters since the Renaissance, his notoriety is equally due to his eccentric behavior, scorn of conventions, and biting aphorisms, and to the role he played in the creation of the Cynic school, which flourished from the 4th century B.C. to the Christian era. Jean-Manuel Roubineau paints a new portrait of an atypical philosopher whose life left an indelible mark on the Western collective imagination and whose philosophy courses through various schools of thought well beyond antiquity. 
   
   
   
  Roubineau sifts through the many legends and apocryphal stories that surround the life of Diogenes. Was he a counterfeiter? Did he meet Alexander the Great? Was he an apologist for incest, patricide, and anthropophagy? How did he actually die? Roubineau retraces the known facts of Diogenes' existence. 
   
   
   
  Beyond the rehashed clichés, this book inspires us to rediscover Diogenes' philosophical legacy—whether it be the challenge to the established order, the detachment from materialism, the choice of a return to nature, or the formulation of a cosmopolitan ideal strongly rooted in the belief that virtue is better revealed in action than in theory.
