Consolation of Philosophy (Latin: Consolatio Philosophiae) is a philosophical work by Boethius written in about the year 524 AD. It has been described as the single most important and influential work in the West in medieval and early Renaissance Christianity, and is also the last great work that can be called Classical. Consolation of Philosophy was written during Boethius’ one year imprisonment while awaiting trial, and eventual horrific execution, for the crime of treason by Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great. Boethius was at the very heights of power in Rome and was brought down by treachery. It was from this experience he was inspired to write a philosophical book from prison reflecting on how a lord’s favor could change so quickly and why friends would turn against him. It has been described as ‘by far the most interesting example of prison literature the world has ever seen.’ The Consolation of Philosophy stands, by its note of fatalism and its affinities with the Christian doctrine of humility, midway between the heathen philosophy of Seneca the Younger and the later Christian philosophy of consolation represented by Thomas Aquinas. – The book is heavily influenced by Plato and his dialogues (as was Boethius himself).

The Your Best Life Podcast is a show from Jesse Daniel Smith & Elena Rae and an extension of the Your Best Life website. When we’re not shooting professional photo/video, recording albums or managing our business we try to engage our best lives through mindfulness & discussion. This show allows us to have long form conversations about the techniques and tactics we’re using to live happier, longer lives with less stress and more understanding. Don’t let this description fool you however, this is not a traditional self-help business. In fact, our business is making music being killer at documenting people living their lives – helping others is the gift that working allows us. That means we’re not trying to get your e-mail, promoting our book or trying to sell you on coming to our conference. No, we’re trying to share the information that has helped us go from a couple unproductive, anxious twenty-somethings to young professionals who are realizing their ambitions. Thanks for listening – we hope you enjoy your time with us. YourBestLife.Cool Happy 4/20!
