Picked up “Areté” by Brian Johnson based on some recommendations. I was a bit skeptical at first because it seems very self-help-y, and I’m not a huge fan of the writing style — can someone please use the phrase “begs the question” correctly? — but it’s got some good wisdom so far, so I’ll keep going. It’s much more focused on self-improvement, like philosophy was intended to be.
It’s also a massive book at almost 1,000 pages. I’ll be working on it for a while.
