Bertrand Russell on becoming active in the world

Welcome back to our experiment of trying to live six different philosophies of life within the space of a year. In the previous two weeks, we talked about Bertrand Russell and his book “The Conquest of Happiness” (By the way, if you’d like to buy it, there’s an Amazon affiliate link at the very end of this post on the website.

Today, we will talk for a final time about Russell and next time we’ll go on to Richard Taylor, who also has a very interesting, very creative take on what a good life is.
