In this handbook to Aristotle’s timeless teachings, Prof. Edith Hall shows how ancient thinking is precisely what we need today.

Aristotle’s Way is an exploration of the famous philosopher’s work which has been helpfully curated and thematically organized by Hall, according to a commentary in goodreads.com.

“An easy to read and wonderful self-thinking guide using Aristotle’s wisdom,” stated a reviewer. “Very fresh approach and totally recommend it to anyone wanting to understand the nuts and bolts of what the human mind associates happiness with.”

Hall, a professor of classics at King’s College London, is also the author of Introducing the Ancient Greeks.

In a review published in the New York Times, John Kaag said: “Hall’s new book clears a rare middle way for her reader to pursue happiness, what the ancient Greeks called eudaimonia, usually translated as well-being or prosperity.”
