From the author of Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential
If you asked the ancient Stoic philosophers how to live a good life, they’d answer you in a single word: Areté. We translate Areté as “virtue” or “excellence” but the word has a deeper meaning—something closer to being your best self, moment to moment to moment. Learn more about the book and get your copy here.
