Hey, Merry Christmas. We're taking a break today for new episodes, but we're going to rebroadcast episode number 770,

philosophical tools for living the good life. Hope you enjoy it. We'll see on Monday with a

brand new episode. Brett McKay here and welcome to another edition of The Art of Manliness podcast.

Now most to everyone wants to live a good, meaningful life, but we don't always know what that means and how to do it. Plenty of modern self-improvement programs claim to point people in the right direction, but many of the best answers were already offered more than 2,000 years ago. My guests have gleaned the cream of this orienting, ancient yet evergreen advice from history's philosophers and shared it in their new book, The Good Life Method, reasoning through the big questions of happiness, faith, and meaning. Their names are Megan Sullivan and Paul Blaschko and the professors of philosophy of the University of Notre Dame. Today in the show, Megan and Paul introduces to the world of virtue ethics. An approach to philosophy they examine the nature of the good life, the values and habits that lead to excellence, and how to find and fulfill your purpose as a human being.

We discuss how to seek truth of other people by asking them three levels of what they call strong questions and engaging in civil and fruitful dialogue. We then delve into why your intentions matter and why you should use morally thick language. We also examine the role that work and love has to play in pursuing the good life and how the latter is very much about attention. We ended in our conversation with how a life of eudaimonia, full human flourishing, requires balancing

action with contemplation.

All right, Megan Sullivan, Paul Blaschko, welcome to the show.
