HOW TO FLOURISH - ARISTOTLE GEBUNDEN

Aristotle's essential guide to human flourishing-the Nicomachean Ethics-in a lively new
abridged translationAristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human
flourishing ever written  but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to
Flourish is a carefully abridged version of the entire work in a highly readable and colloquial
new translation by Susan Sauvâe Meyer that makes Aristotle's timeless insights about how to
lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before.For Aristotle  flourishing means
becoming a good person through practice  and having a life of the mind. To that end  he draws
vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters  and offers sound practical advice about
everything from eating and drinking to managing money  controlling anger  getting along with
others  and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom that are essential
to flourishing and offers an unusual perspective on how to appreciate our place in the universe
and our relation to the divine.Omitting Aristotle's digressions and repetitions and overly
technical passages  How to Flourish provides connecting commentary that allows readers to
follow the continuous line of his thought  it also features the original Greek on facing pages.
The result is an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and
lead a good and happy life--
