How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life by Russell Roberts
An Unexpected Guide to Human Nature and Happiness
An accessible blend of intellectual biography, memoir, and practical philosophy that mines the work of an 18th-century moral philosopher for everyday guidance, showing how ideas about sympathy, prudence, reputation, and self-command illuminate ordinary choices and relationships; through clear exposition, short historical sketches, and personal anecdotes the book argues that thinking like an economist—attending to incentives, trade-offs, and unintended consequences—can be married to a concern for moral sentiment to help readers manage regret, build character, navigate ambition and friendship, and make wiser, more compassionate decisions in modern life.
