Description
What is a good life, and how is it related to a happy one? What are virtues, and how do they affect the nature of friendships? Is there really an ancient art which develops good character? In this compact volume, illustrated with rare engravings and witty cartoons, ethicists Greg Beabout and Mike Hannis describe various approaches, ancient and modern, to the timeless questions: "What kind of person am I?" and "What should I do?"
