Summary
“This book will change your life. And, if enough of us commit, it will change the world.” — Phil Stutz, MD, bestselling author of The Tools, featured in the Netflix documentary, Stutz
In Areté, Brian Johnson integrates ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools to, as per the sub-title of the book, help you activate your Heroic potential and fulfill your destiny.
If you asked the ancient stoic philosophers how to live a good life, they’d answer you in a single word: Areté. We translate Areté as “virtue” or “excellence” but the word has a deeper meaning—something closer to being your best self moment to moment to moment.
Phil Stutz, MD, the author of The Tools, who was featured in the Netflix documentary called Stutz, wrote the foreword to the book.
He says: “What Brian has developed is much more than a bunch of coping mechanisms for the over-stressed modern person; although that would be an improvement for most of us. He’s developed a training program for the soul.
Commit to this training and you will gain the ability to transmute your biggest problems, your darkest days, into unstoppable courage, endless enthusiasm, and an unshakable faith in the future.
This book will change your life. And, if enough of us commit, it will change the world.”
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Brian lives what he preaches!
Brian is phenomenal!
His ability to distil and blend modern science and ancient philosophy is unmatched!
Maybe the most comprehensive set of scientifically verified ideas and tools for more fulfilled life.
And he does all the things he has collected and shares with the world. You can judge by him how much they actually work.
Enjoy! I have been following Brian for almost a decade and this is by far the best summary of north of 500+ self help books.

What a waste of time
Starting a chapter about hope by giving an example of how mice drowned in a lab in 15 mins and then, when taken out , being left alone and warm and IN PEACE for a few hours, then put back in the hellhole in that shitty lab, performing the same "test" they survived 60 hours before drowning because they had hope ....what a BS thing to give as an example! Everyone with working brain cells knows this so called test is outdated cruelty and has never proven to be effective. Only shitty labs and people continue to use it and i guess people like the author continue to mention it , even saying it was a "remarkable result".
Also what is with the multiple chapters with stupid, lame advice we can copy and paste from Pinterest. Honestly, a waste of time.I just hope Audible returns my credit when i return this BS "book".
