Testimonials on the site and the books

“Daily Philosophy has quickly established itself as one of the most imaginatively themed philosophy web magazines. Readers will welcome and learn from this series of books of essays by the magazine’s Editor on the theme of happiness. With clarity, erudition and wit, the author draws on philosophical wisdom - ancient and modern, Eastern and Western - to illuminate the nature of the authentically happy life.” – David E. Cooper, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Durham University, UK.

“The book Live Happier with Aristotle is a commendable introduction to the practice of philosophical health, or how to combine the best version of yourself with what Aristotle called eudaimonia, a spirited joy based on a virtuous and meaningful life. Andreas Matthias is a master of pedagogic clarity.” – Luis de Miranda, Founder of the Philosophical Health movement.

“A pleasure to read and enormously useful: Andy Matthias does a marvellous job applying the insights of the great philosophical classics to our everyday lives and making very clear suggestions what we can do to live better. Highly recommended!” – Michael Hauskeller, Professor of Philosophy and Head of the Philosophy Department at the University of Liverpool, UK.
