Summary
'Life's Values' offers new analyses of the nature of pleasure, happiness, well-being and meaning in life. Recognising how individuals have different priorities, Goldman explains what is of ultimate value in our lives and argues that making our desires rational - relevantly informed of what it's like to satisfy them - maximises well-being.
