The Nicomachean Ethics

The Nicomachean Ethics, by Aristotle, explores how to live a good and fulfilling life. It emphasizes that happiness (or eudaimonia) is the highest goal, achieved through virtuous actions—qualities like courage, wisdom, and moderation. Aristotle argues that virtue is about finding the right balance in our behaviors and developing good character through practice. The book encourages individuals to reflect on their actions, cultivate moral virtues, and pursue continuous personal growth to attain true well-being and moral excellence.
