Baruch Spinoza was a 17th-century Dutch philosopher who approached human emotions as if they were a mathematical problem. He didn’t believe our feelings were random or mysterious. Instead, he argued that they followed the same natural laws as everything else in the universe. He wrote his most famous work, Ethics, in the style of a geometry textbook in which he analyzed emotions like anger, fear, and love with logical definitions, propositions, and proofs. Because of this, Spinoza didn’t see happiness as a matter of luck, a fleeting emotion, or a reward from the universe. No. To him, happiness is the experience of increasing mental clarity. It’s the freedom that comes from no longer being confused by life, understanding how reality works, and gaining control over your own mind. This way of thinking is called Rationalism. It is the idea that reason and logic are the best tools for understanding the world. Instead of reacting to events or hoping things will get better, a Rationalist tries to understand why things happen. Spinoza believed that the more clearly we think about our experiences, the better we can understand our problems, learn from them, and avoid unnecessary suffering.

Fyodor Dostoevsky was a 19th century novelist and philosopher, considered by many to be one of the most influential authors in all of world literature. Born and raised in Tsarist Russia, Dostoevsky was heavily exposed to the misery and injustice characteristic of his time. Among his more marking experiences, he spent four years in a Siberian labour camp, went through compulsory military service in exile, and had to beg for money while in Western Europe due to his gambling addiction. And yet, despite his first-hand experience of misery and suffering, Dostoevsky remained hopeful and optimistic about what life is. He is considered to be one of the first writers to incorporate concepts of what we now know as existentialism. Dostoevsky’s works revolve around a few major themes like the meaning of life, the constancy of suffering, the divide between rationality and emotion, spirituality, and the various sides of the human condition.  Some of his well known novels and essays are Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, and Notes from the Underground. Through his novels and essays, Dostoevsky tried to make sense of the suffering and misery around him, attempting to find meaning and hope even in the bleakest of times. His work represents a deep dive into human suffering, the evil surrounding us, and the problems caused by moral corruption and in each of the universes he created, he gave ways to escape the apparent  constant suffering and torment of his characters through moral virtue, love, compassion, and one’s own sense of meaning. His writings were heavily influential for the existentialist current of philosophy, representing sources of inspiration for other consecrated authors like Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre.

A samurai at first, and then a Ronin, Miyamoto Musashi is considered to be the greatest swordsman ever in the history of Japan, in large part due to his almost surreal discipline. Indeed It is being said that he fought 60 duels, and never lost one. He fought for the first time when he was 13 against an experienced Samurai, and came out victorious. He took down the greatest swordsman at that time, one by one, until the throne was his, and his alone. However, Miyamoto was more than that. Not only was he a master of his craft, but he was also an artist, a cerebral philosopher and a buddhist. He sought meaning, wrote war and philosophy books, and his work became a blueprint for people who want to live a disciplined life. A week before he died in 1645, Miyamoto Musashi wrote 21 principles called “Dokkodo '' by which he expresses a stringent, honest, and ascetic or strongly self-disciplined view of life.
