About the author
Aristotle (384-322 BCE)
Aristotle was a famous thinker from ancient Greece. He was a student of Plato and later became the teacher of Alexander the Great. His ideas have shaped the way people think for over 2,000 years.
One of his most important books, The Nicomachean Ethics, is about how to live a good life. Aristotle believed that true happiness does not come from money or pleasure alone. Instead, it comes from being a good person, making wise choices, and building good habits. His ideas about virtue ethics are still studied today.
Aristotle also wrote about science, politics, and logic. He was one of the first people to try to understand the world in an organized way. His way of thinking became the foundation for modern science and philosophy.
Many of Aristotle's books were written in Ancient Greek. Over time, scholars have translated them, but they can still be hard to read. His ideas, however, remain important. He believed that wisdom should not be just for scholars-it should be for everyone.
This book makes Aristotle's ideas clear and easy to understand, so more people can learn from his wisdom.
