Happiness: A Philosopher's Guide
Categories: Self-Help
French philosopher Frédéric Lenoir explores how great thinkers have answered the question of what happiness is and how to achieve it. He draws on Socrates, Aristotle, Epicurus, the Stoics, the Buddha, Confucius, Spinoza and others, as well as modern neuroscience and psychology. In short chapters, Lenoir considers pleasure, wisdom, virtue, fate and desire, and offers a personal view of how to live a happier life.

- Shane Parrish: “This is a great book that walks us through some of history’s greatest thinkers and their answers to what is happiness and how do we achieve it? A bit of a warning, once you start exploring these questions and shining the light on your own life, things might never be the same.”
