All Can Be Well: Lessons From Great Thinkers For A Life Worth Living

Philosophy is the love of wisdom that can provide therapy for the mind. This book synthesises a variety of philosophical ideas into sixteen lessons on how we can acquire eudaimonia - a sense of personal flourishing from the development of our character. Although we live in an ever-changing political, technological and social landscape, the problems caused by our human nature are much the same as they ever were. The good news is that much of the guidance that we need to help solve them, has already been offered to us by the great thinkers of the past. Throughout history and across the globe, they were often all trying to teach us the same things. Based on some stark but consoling insights of philosophy, All Can Be Well turns some sobering reflections on the realities of our existence into the ultimately positive message that we can learn to live wiser, calmer and happier lives if we choose to.
