Living a good life through the understanding of philosophy is like self help on steroids.
A Philosopher is someone that loves wisdom, that’s all that there is to it and what is wisdom but the understanding of how to live a good life? You don’t have to be a dusty old university professor to be a philosopher and you don’t have to know about all of the great philosophers that have gone before you, you just have to be willing to learn more about the greatest subject of all and that is yourself.
