About This Book

A series of aphorisms and short essays offers practical eudaimonological guidance, arguing that inner constitution matters more than external goods. Organized into sections on what a person essentially is, what they possess, and how they are perceived, it examines health, temperament, wealth, reputation, and strategies for conduct toward oneself, others, and fate, as well as reflections on different life stages. The author adopts an empirical standpoint, adapting broader metaphysical views to recommend attitudes and habits that make life more bearable and agreeable.

About the Author

Schopenhauer, Arthur portrait

Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher known for his profound influence on existentialism and psychology. His work often explores themes of pessimism, the nature of reality, and the human condition. Schopenhauer is perhaps best known for his seminal essays, particularly "The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer: The Wisdom of Life," where he articulates his views on the struggles of existence and the pursuit of happiness. His philosophical ideas, especially regarding the will and representation, have left a lasting mark on Western thought, inspiring later thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud.
