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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOmitting Aristotle's digressions and repetitions and overly technical passages, \u003ci\u003eHow to Flourish\u003c\/i\u003e 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 life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"How to Flourish: An Ancient Guide to Living Well | Aristotle | Hardcover | 9780691238623 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks E 1723931","offer_id":48167388545176,"sku":"1723931","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71hl5NfejHL.jpg?v=1771945392","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/how-to-flourish-an-ancient-guide-to-living-well","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
