Six myths about the good life: thinking about what has value

Myth one : pursuing comfort and pleasure will lead to the best possible life

Myth two : the desirable life equals the one that is most happy

Myth three : the good life requires reaching a good equilibrium, a point at which the important difficulties are resolved

Myth four : reason rather than emotions would be the best indicator of what would be a good life

Myth five : there is no real connection, at least in this life, between true virtue and a desirable kind of life

Myth six : true virtue is impeccable
