Description

Book DescriptionIf there is insufficient excellence in your life to suit you, this book is for you. It explains how to master any activity—including life itself!I committed myself to mastering life when I was seventeen, which was about fifty years ago. It’s taken me a long time to figure out what you are about to learn.Even if you enjoy it, if you read this book and then put it forever on a shelf it won’t have worked for you the way that I intend. What I’d like you to do is to read it, select an area for greater excellence, and then consult it again and again as you practice applying its ideas to that area until you achieve the excellence you want.Excerpts from reviews:”A professional philosopher’s advice about what to be and how to live . . . in the tradition established ages ago by Epictetus and Epicurus. . .” Panayot Butchavrov, The University of Iowa Foundation Distinguished Professor of Philosophy”Dennis Bradford . . . has examined all possible objections and countered them. He is very bright and very thorough.” Bill Edgar, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus, SUNY Geneseo”I was surprised at how interested I became while reading . . . I was often unaware of time while reading it, and was sad when it ended . . . [The] book actually made me feel good! I certainly never expected that . . . What an amazing accomplishment!” Megan Dreisbach
