Drawing inspiration from Socrates, this book is na invitation to personal improvement. The author, a philosopher, views contemplation as a provocation to action, and invites his readers to self-examination and to practice virtues in everyday life. Anchored in classical philosophical tradition, Everyday Virtues calls us, through practical exercises and straightforward language, to adopt a mature and responsible attitude towards life. Only through reflection on our daily actions and continual self-examination of our motivations can we avoid being governed by instincts and thus achieve a life worth living.
