The Virtuous Life is a set of directive put forward by St. Isaac about how the Christian might be able to observe virtue on a regular basis. This is broken down into six books detailing how to avoid the near occasion of sin and observe strength against the power of human temptation. St. Isaac discusses this in terms of being cognizant of your own thoughts and attempting to developing an advanced sense of an observing ego.
