The book is one of the most influential ethical treatises of all time. Written in 350 BC, it identifies happiness as life's goal. How do we achieve this goal? Not through the satisfactions that come from pleasure, wealth, or fame. According to Aristotle, the true path to happiness lies in contemplation of philosophic truth. This is the only action through which humans can exercise their distinctively unique trait: the ability to reason.

Die Inschrift auf dem Orakel von Delphi lautet: »Nichts im Übermaß«. Das ist leicht gesagt, aber schwer zu praktizieren – und wenn es schon 300 v. Chr. schwer war, so ist es heute fast unmöglich. Und doch ist die Selbstdisziplin die stärkste und wichtigste Tugend, die jeder von uns lernen kann. Ohne sie können wir unsere Lebensziele nicht erreichen. Ryan Holiday beschreibt im 2. Band der Reihe über die vier stoischen Tugenden, wie wir Willenskraft, Mäßigung und Selbstkontrolle – also Disziplin – in unserem Leben kultivieren können.

Per una meravigliosa e tremenda ambiguità linguistica, la morte e la vita sono iscritte nella stessa parola bios: bíos è vita, biós è arco. Noi siamo così un cerchio incompiuto, imperfetto, un arco, in cui inizio e fine non coincidono. Solitari restare a riva a osservare le tempeste della vita o salire a bordo senza troppo curarci dei compagni di viaggio? Seguire le leggi del cosmo o le leggi dell'io? Scegliere la politica o l'antipolitica? Il negotium o l'otium? Credere o capire di fronte a Dio e alla morte? Seguire la lezione dei padri o la rivoluzione dei figli?

Imagine you’ve eaten some hallucinogenic mushrooms—and things aren’t going well. You’re disoriented, panicking. But you can call someone. Who do you call? For Vishal, the answer was his philosopher friend William. He has a PhD in philosophy and can deliver one hell of a talk-down to someone in an existential crisis. He helped Vishal through his bad trip by telling him about Aristotle. That conversation inspired Ask Aristotle, a refreshingly un-schoolish introduction to one of history’s most legendary thinkers.
