We all want to live better lives, don’t we? We all feel that we could use more meaning in our lives; that we could accomplish more, that we have a potential we aren’t reaching. Even if we are happy with our lives (and we see around us so many people who are not), all of us would want to get the means to be even more so. What will help us do that? In today’s world, some seek it through making more money, some seek it through achieving fame, some seek it through new and more dynamic technologies, some seek it through extreme sports, and some seek it through hedonistic pleasures. Some more idealistic people seek it through political activism or helping others. What very few people do any more is seek it through the wisdom of the “ancients”
