Arthur Schopenhauer Essays: The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims

The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims is a collection of essays by famed German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims, two of Schopenhauer's well-known essays are brought together and explore the thoughts behind his more realistic and pessimistic worldview. In The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims, Schopenhauer explores the keys to living a full and meaningful life through his own pessimistic philosophy and understanding of human nature. A profound advocate for willpower and rational deliberation, Arthur Schopenhauer believed that complete happiness and satisfaction are unobtainable. He rejects the usual goals in life of money, fame, pride, social position, and material and physical pleasures in favor of development of one's inner mind and a strong and healthy body. The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims remains an engaging and thoughtful discourse on life and happiness.
