Description
Aristotle’s Way is an examination of one of history’s greatest philosophers, showing us how to lead happy, fulfilled, and meaningful lives, written by renowned classicist Edith Hall.
Aristotle inquired into subjective happiness, and he understood its essence better and more clearly than most. According to Aristotle, happiness is not about well-being, but instead a lasting state of contentment, which should be the ultimate goal of human life. We become happy through finding a purpose, realizing our potential, and modifying our behavior to become the best version of ourselves. As Hall writes, “If you believe that the goal of human life is to maximize happiness, then you are a budding Aristotelian.”
Edith Hall, whose own life has been greatly improved by her understanding of Aristotle, distills his ancient wisdom into ten practical and universal lessons to help us confront life’s difficult and crucial moments.
