About
From renowned classicist Edith Hall, an examination of one of history's greatest philosophers, showing us how to lead happy, fulfilled, and meaningful lives.

Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote the most important book on happiness. The first philosopher to inquire into subjective happiness, he understood its essence more clearly than anyone since. Most important, Aristotle understood happiness as available to the vast majority of us, but only, crucially, if we decide to apply ourselves to its creation.

In Aristotle's Way, Professor Edith Hall shows how his timeless teachings are exactly what we need today to pursue a life well lived. Mixing affecting biographical anecdotes with a deep wealth of classical learning, Hall lays out the crux of Aristotle's thinking and distills his ancient wisdom into ten practical and universal lessons to help us become the best version of ourselves.
