On today's show, I talk with Edith Hall, the author of Aristotle’s Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life, and she is a Professor at King’s College in London. 

We talk about Aristotle, one of the earliest and greatest thinkers to take up the subject of the Good Life. He has had a major impact, especially in the West, on happiness and how we can live a flourishing life, but his writing can also be dry and tough going for the average reader.  

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

• Why it’s better to think of Happiness as something we do, not something we are
• Why doing the right thing ethically is so important to happiness
• How we all have a unique potential based on our talents
• Why achieving our potential – the best version of ourselves - is so important
• How to make better decisions
• How to handle bad luck
• The role that habits play in achieving the Good Life
