Searching for PurposeJanuary 20, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had my attention drawn to this work by a reference to it in a Charles Handy book, and as I trust his judgement I bought the book. I was not disappointed.
For the very first time I understood Aristotle and his philosophical approach to life in general, I have even gone back to his original works and I found greater insight and enjoyment.
Creating the good life is not a dry exposition of Aristotelian ideas, its a very personal and relevent application of his ideas into the modern setting.
The themes are revealed by James O'Toole explaining his own struggles and assumptions, how one moment he thinks he has 'got it' and the next he has to re-think, but each time moving forward exposing the fallacies of his previous views on life.
If you are in mid life and are still searching for purpose then taking the time to absorb these ideas will at least provide you with a route map of discovery
