The rub is that they first must acknowledge their blindness". And as I read this book, I'm only 39% in it, I'm enjoying every chapter and making highlights as I move along. My self at 72, and in good health and spirit, I find, that this is a book that may contribute to anyone who would like to do some thinking at anytime. I like it and I would recommend it.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.Businessman's VersionBy Page HudsonThis is a book by a businessman for other businessmen, those who want to justify their lives by placing Aristotle in their CV. His audience appears to be wealthy middle aged executives looking for ways to feel good when they have piled up enough money. The practical solutions: life-long learning, giving back and keeping mentally alert are supremely pedestrian.I learned enough classical Greek (in my mid 40s) to read Aristotle (very slowly) and Homer and Plato (also really slowly) too. I am not convinced O'Toole has even read him in translation. Perhaps another businessman's 'Pocket Guide'The Greek is far less rigid than the "meanings" O'Toole assigns to Aristotle. Homer and Plato he uses merely as straw men, foils to his interpretation of Aristotle (e.g. O'Toole repeats several times that Plato's idea of lifetime happiness is accumulation of material goods, nothing else). If you are rich and righteous and want to bolster the way you feel about yourself, this is for you. The format is pretty traditional among business self-help books: general principles a few anecdotes detailing the successful application of the ideas in fabulously successful CEO types and a sprinkling of how ordinary people can use the principles too.Aristotle (and Plato and Zeno and Epicurus) all have immediate and relevant things to say to us today. Adapting principles to your own precise condition is hard. The writing we have are to stimulate ideas, to point ways. We have to discover and shape unique ways suitable for our life and times. If you suspect Aristotle has ideas that might change, might startle or color your life, go read him. If you want smug banalities and a book about business leadership, start here.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Five StarsBy Raul E.
