Discover the Key Themes

Contrary to popular belief, happiness does not lie in material abundance. The cracks in the paradigm of infinite growth and selfish consumerism are becoming evident. This book calls for a radical rethink of what constitutes a good life, presenting a strategy that prioritizes sustainability and well-being.

Drawing on modern social science and ancient Greek philosophy, the author explores how to live a meaningful, creative, and autonomous life enriched by positive relationships. Practical tools and reflective exercises guide readers to understand and navigate the inner forces—drivers and saboteurs—that shape their path to a thriving life.

An essential read for those committed to solving today’s ecological and social challenges while embracing joy and meaning.
