Happiness is not Enough

Posted by Michael Newby

Michael Newby

My new book, to be called `Happiness is not Enough: paths to well-being` comes out later this year.   Matador Press price and ISBN tba.

 It is a work of radical philosophy and practical living built upon  concepts  of `eudaimonia` or well-being.  Key themes- spiritual development without God - the limits of external goods - finding internal goods - learning to love the world - learning to communicate - finding a master story for today - truth in the age of fiction.     I cite an array of thinkers from Socrates to Habermas to develop a well-formed and radical view of our path to maturity and a better world.

Implications for education, politics and personal lifestyles abound. Fully referenced.
