A lively and personal guide to pursuing true happiness through a life grounded in empathy and shared purposeOf all the ancient thinkers, Aristotle is the humane, dynamic guide we need to navigate modern life. Unlike the Stoics, who advocated detachment and self-reliance, Aristotle knew that goodness grows through human connections.
