According to Aristotle, happiness is not about well-being, but instead a lasting state of contentment, which should be the ultimate goal of human life. We become happy through finding a purpose, realizing our potential, and modifying our behavior to become the best version of ourselves. With these objectives in mind, Aristotle developed a humane program for becoming a happy person, which has stood the test of time, comprising much of what today we associate with the good life: meaning, creativity, and positivity. Most importantly, Aristotle understood happiness as available to the vast majority us, but only, crucially, if we decide to apply ourselves to its creation--and he led by example. As Hall writes, "If you believe that the goal of human life is to maximize happiness, then you are a budding Aristotelian." In expert yet vibrant modern language, Hall lays out the crux of Aristotle's thinking, mixing affecting autobiographical anecdotes with a deep wealth of classical learning. For Hall, whose own life has been greatly improved by her understanding of Aristotle, this is an intensely personal subject. She distills his ancient wisdom into ten practical and universal lessons to help us confront life's difficult and crucial moments, summarizing a lifetime of the most rarefied and brilliant scholarship. Review: Is the Aristotle Mean for Meanies? - An excellent book, but a think piece, that requires frequent pauses to reflect and absorb what has just been written. This is a review of the principal thoughts of Aristotle, recapitulated for modern times. The principals of Aristotle's Rhetoric, for example, are shown how they are applied for an effective job resume, cover letter and interview for college professors. Also, the section on "Decisions" shows how applying Aristotle's logic in decision making is helpful in everyday decisions today. This chapter also shows how far modern education has strayed from teaching logical skills and good decision making skills in classrooms. Although the book is too short to review all the books and writings of Aristotle, the author gives a good overview and presents the subjects well. A good read for rainy days by the fireplace, I recommend this for school and public libraries and personal collections. It is also a book to keep and re-read in a few years. Review: It’s Aristotle in readable form - I am always grateful to Edith Hall for her simplifying, and making available, the depth of the ancient Greek mind. My shallow, western mind benefits, and I appreciate the humanity that she shows from Aristotle‘s point of view. He talks about small things, routines, and habits, and he really thinks of friendship and other relationships as key to happiness. Much to learn and well written of course.

Bless your dedication! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Primer on Aristotle *by J***X on May 21, 2019* All in all an informative and thoughtful read on Aristotle's life & writings. Just when I was ready for another chapter or two it just ended. If anything it's a good primer for getting into Aristotle's rational and very practical way of understanding the natural world. ## Frequently Bought Together - Aristotle's Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life - The Creative Act: A Way of Being --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/106318475-aristotles-way-how-ancient-wisdom-can-change-your-life](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/106318475-aristotles-way-how-ancient-wisdom-can-change-your-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
