Adam Smith became famous for The Wealth of Nations, but the Scottish economist also cared deeply about our moral choices and behavior--the subjects of his other brilliant book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759). Now, economist Russ Roberts shows why Smith's neglected work might be the greatest self-help book you've never read. Roberts explores Smith's unique and fascinating approach to fundamental questions such as: - What is the deepest source of human satisfaction? - Why do we sometimes swing between selfishness and altruism? - What's the connection between morality and happiness? Drawing on current events, literature, history, and pop culture, Roberts offers an accessible and thought-provoking view of human behavior through the lenses of behavioral economics and philosophy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Smith, Adam, $d 1723-1790. $t Theory of moral sentiments. 650 0 $a Happiness. 650 0 $a Satisfaction. 941 $a 6 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724072619.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006082153.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502020432.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011554.0 952 $l OOAX232 $d 20150514012210.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20141114011317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26A86F4E6BCC11E4A924FB80DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
