Live life like a dog

Description
Book Introduction
Diogenes was a philosopher who boldly exposed the hypocrisy of the world and personally demonstrated what true freedom is.
He was not swayed by superficial values such as power, wealth, or fame, but rather broke the norms that society took for granted and practiced the freedom of life that humans should originally enjoy.
His image of making a jar his home, sharing simple food, and boldly proclaiming his philosophy even in front of those in power was shocking at the time, but it resonates refreshingly today.
For modern people who live bound by the world's gaze and rules, Diogenes' life is both an uncomfortable mirror and a light illuminating the path to liberation.
This book follows the life and thoughts of Diogenes, making us reflect on what true freedom we have lost and how we should live to regain that freedom.
In his philosophy of humor and satire, he reminds us of the values of courage and honesty that the world does not teach us.
