The Ethics of Aristotle, Part 3
Let’s philosophize our way to sleep with more from this 2,300-year-old work on the art of being. This time, what is happiness?

Sobre Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep
Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly, ad-free sleep podcast in which we calmly, quietly read something rather boring to silence the brain chatter keeping you awake. Think Aristotle, Thoreau, and whoever wrote the 1897 Sears Catalog—mostly nonfiction, mostly old, a perfect balance of vaguely-but-not-too interesting.
If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.
