Probably the finest tribute to this book comes from Mortimer J.Adler, who, in the addendum to "The Time of Our Lives", and repeated in "Desires, Right and Wrong", gives Mr Veatch credit for writing the only common sense interpretation of Aristotle's Nichomean Ethics in modern times. In easy to read, entertaining fashion, Veatch makes Aristotle, as it applies to today's world, as clear and simple to follow as though you had Adler [or Veatch] at your side to coach you. He presents Aristotle's guideline to finding the way to a good life well lived that is easy to grasp, and easy to adopt. How to make a genuinely good life for one's self was never more appealingly examined.
