First sentence: At a certain point in our lives, many of us step back to reflect upon or perhaps even wrestle with what it takes to lead a life that is useful, moral, worthy, and spiritually meaningful.
Description: Bridging philosophy and self-help, O'Toole's book shows how happiness ultimately is attainable no matter one's level of income, if one uses Aristotle's practical exercises to ask the right questions and to discipline oneself to pursue things that are "good for us." Professionals and business people in midlife are increasingly asking themselves, "what's next?" in their careers and personal lives. This book draws on the wisdom of the ages to help contemporary men and women plan for a satisfying, useful, moral, and meaningful second half of their lives.
