In our hectic, disordered world, it's easy to lose sight of harmony with yourself, others, and maybe even something bigger. That's where The Good Life steps in, a thoughtfully curated anthology from Hackett Publishing that gathers voices from ancient to modern thinkers on human flourishing.
We've all asked: What does it mean to thrive? How do I balance inner peace with outer chaos? This first-edition collection tackles these head-on through themes like right relation to God, wielding reason wisely, deep self-exploration, and navigating life's messes.
