Summary:
For millennia, the world's great ethical and religious traditions taught that true happiness lies in pursuing virtue and accepting limits. But for years we have pursued and achieved the modern dream of defining ourselves. The result is a society riven by deep conflict and individual lives that, for all their apparent freedom, are marked by alienation and stark unhappiness.Ahmari offers twelve fundamental queries that challenge our modern certainties, and invites us to recapture a more humane way of living in a world that has lost its way. -- adapted from jacket
