Aristotle's Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life by Edith Hall

3.0

I took long breaks in reading this book, and I remember the first half being stronger than the latter sections on Leisure and Mortality (though I suspect someone already familiar with Aristotle might find it repetitive / shallow). I understand the reason for the inclusion of pop culture references, though they were often VERY brief, and the inclusion of personal anecdotes; however, for me, they took away from the focus of the work. At the same time, I don't know that I want to read an intense Aristotelian ethics book, so this was a nice in-between.

B convinced me to read this, as he sensed I was in one of my biannual self-help book phases and the book was by a woman scholar.
