Creating the Good Life draws on the wisdom of the ages to help contemporary men and women plan for satisfying, useful, moral, and meaningful second halves of their lives.For centuries, the brightest people in Western societies have looked to Aristotle for guidance on how to lead a good life and how to create a good society.
