Los textos robados a la felicidad : 22 historias para vivir sin miedo

“The great texts of Antiquity, Hebrew and Greek, which have founded our culture, speak of happiness. Their primary and ultimate purpose is to propose an ethic —that is, a code of conduct— for living without fear and without anguish. That is their theme. Everything else is subordinate to it. But throughout history, academic, doctrinal, or ideological interpretation has stolen or distorted it until it has disappeared. This book recovers it and places Antiquity and its classics in a radically contemporary, useful, and rigorous perspective. Civilization and technology have changed the landscape of society, but the work of becoming masters of our own lives must continue to be done by us. Nothing has changed.”
