Reviews
"An extraordinary book. Fast-paced and funny, yet serene and serious; lighthearted and informal, yet passionate and precise; short, yet thorough; quite fit for a general readership, yet with reflections and formulations that experts on Aristotle's ethics will be glad to take on board. Above all, it is chock-full of great advice on how to live a better and happier life. I recommend it to everyone, enthusiastically." --Stephen L. Brock, Pontifical University of the Holy Cross " Advice from Aristotle is as wise as it is funny, and as funny as it is wise. Aristotle comes alive in Younan's lucid and sure-footed explanations, his unforgettable examples, and, yes, his jokes. Younan's book makes it clear that, in Mortimer Adler's words, Aristotle is 'for everybody' (at any rate, everybody who wants to flourish or be happy or a good person . . .)." --Zena Hitz, St. John's College "The world needs Aristotle--and Younan proves it! In this jargon-free, refreshingly honest, and direct, humble, yet stimulating book, he shows how one can find--with Aristotle's help--the way to a good life. Stimulating throughout, witty, and wise, this book belongs in the hands of everyone who longs for guidance." --Ulrich L. Lehner, University of Notre Dame "This handbook for happiness is as clear and accurate as Aristotle could wish but written in a language--and with a sense of humor--that Homer Simpson would enjoy. A rare achievement." --Christopher Blum, Augustine Institute "This is a wonderful book about the pursuit of happiness written precisely for the average Joe. It presents the perennial wisdom of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics in a manner that is fun to read and easy to understand by non-philosophers. . . . Written with a somewhat ironic and jesting tone and down-to-earth examples, it will be especially attractive to a younger audience." --John Goyette, Thomas Aquinas College " Advice from Aristotle provides a refreshingly accessible, acerbic, and thoughtful introduction to Aristotle's system of moral philosophy. . . . Rigorous but fun, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in living a more fulfilling life." --Kristopher G. Phillips, Southern Utah University "Since Aristotle emphasizes the importance of 'finding a balance,' it's fitting that Advice from Aristotle strikes the perfect balance of clarity, humor, and accessibility on the one hand and careful representation of the original Aristotelian spirit on the other. Whether it's someone's first time encountering Aristotle or their hundredth, Advice from Aristotle is sure to inspire readers to appreciate the broad applicability of Aristotle's ideas to twenty-first-century life." --Cassie L. Finley, PhD candidate, University of Iowa
