The Book: How To Be An Excellent Human
How can we live good, fulfilling lives? How can we be happy? These questions have been at the forefront of philosophy ever since Socrates, and this engaging book attempts an answer. It addresses the big questions of life:
- How should we live our lives?
- How should we decide how to live our lives? How should we even frame the question in the first place?
- What is it to be human? What are we like, how do we function?
- What is our place in universe? How do we fit into the bigger picture? What is the bigger picture, the basic nature of all of reality?
