Aristotle was an excellent thinker, perhaps the greatest in history. However, he was tormented by a common question: how to be happy. His deepest belief was that we can all be happy in a meaningful and sustainable way - and he taught it by example. Professor Edith Hall proves that ancient thought is exactly what we need today. Through ten practical lessons, we understand ourselves better and the way we make good decisions.
We learn how to succeed in a job interview, how to choose a partner and lifelong friends, and how to manage death or loss.
Whether it is ancient Greece or the modern world, the challenges of life remain the same. Aristotle does not describe a simple application of rules. With his practical, moderate, and timeless reasoning, he calls us to delve into the essence of existence and consciously move towards a happy life.
His advice will always be timeless and relevant.
