Rationality Is the Way to Happiness

In a world where philosophy is often reduced to catch-phrases and empty theories, this is a passionate defence of logic and consistency as the keys to happiness. Personal effectiveness, the basis of well-being and success, results from rational goals, workable plans and relentless action. In the areas of career, health, relationships, and investments, this essay shows how to let go of wasteful propositions, pursue compatible goals, cultivate perseverance and resilience, and maximize opportunities. Inspired by the teachings of Aristotle, Maimonides, Erasmus, Montaigne and Spinoza, the book encourages a self-reliant, entrepreneurial attitude.
