'Wonderful and timely ... Hugely recommended' STEPHEN FRY
What do you and an ancient philosopher have in common? It turns out much more than you might think...
Aristotle was an extraordinary thinker yet he was preoccupied by an ordinary question: how to be happy. In this handbook to his timeless teachings, Professor Edith Hall shows how ancient thinking is precisely what we need today, even if you don't know your Odyssey from your Iliad. In ten practical lessons you can learn how to make good decisions, how to ace an interview, how to choose a partner and how to face death. This is advice that won't go out of fashion.

Rezension:
Wonderful and timely. Aristotle's influence has been immense, but Edith Hall's authoritative, warmly readable, clear and approachable book opens Aristotle up and establishes him as a man who addresses the issues of the human heart as much as the human mind. She gives us an Aristotle for our times as much as his own and all those that came between. Hugely recommended. STEPHEN FRY
