Description

This book is a short treatise on practical wisdom aimed at achieving happiness. But how did the master of modern pessimism, Arthur Schopenhauer, take on such an undertaking? He did so because theoretical philosophy is one thing and the practical wisdom of life is another: we must not give up hope or turn our backs on rules of life, maxims, and advice that will help us face difficulties. 

The pessimistic belief that our life oscillates between pain and boredom is precisely what makes the need for practical wisdom to live better imperative. 

It is in our interest to find rules of life to limit the sufferings of existence, to endure the blows of fate, and to attain, if not absolute happiness, a relative happiness, that happiness which consists in the absence of pain.
