1:00Now PlayingModern self-help books often simplify philosophy to make it more accessible, but they lack the depth of the original texts.
Jonny Thomson, author and our very own staff writer here at Big Think, explores how classic philosophy can enrich your everyday life and offers three timeless recommendations:
1. Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
2. Michel De Montaigne's Essays
3. Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
