How to Say No: An Ancient Guide to the Art of Cynicism by Diogenes

3.0

I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately it did not live up to it's (very intriguing) name and premise - it read more like a draft than a final copy. However, it's a decent overview of Cynic philosophy and also touches on Cynics beyond Diogenes. This book would make a good starting point for reading about Diogenes and Cynic thought before jumping into something heavier and more analytical like [b:Diogenes the Cynic: Sayings and Anecdotes, with Other Popular Moralists|13112139|Diogenes the Cynic Sayings and Anecdotes, with Other Popular Moralists|Diogenes of Sinope|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348990639l/13112139._SY75_.jpg|18285740].
