A whole lot of huge ideas in bite size, eminently digestible morsels. Brian has such a natural, infectiously appealing way of making wisdom relevant to just about everybody. Like a sampler plate of the very best books out there.

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.

The App for Living With Areté
Practical tools, inspiration, and guidance to experience eudaimonia via areté and flourish by putting virtue into action: Wisdom. Discipline. Love. Courage. Gratitude. Hope. Curiosity. Zest. Together. TODAY.
