Socrates recommends that we live examined lives, but what exactly does that mean? Should we criticise and dismantle our moral convictions? Or construct theories of virtue and the good? This book argues that the answer is neither-the best human life is one of moral learning in which we actualise our potential for knowledge.

Explores the effect that capitalist ambition has on our psyches and societies, and what a world without ambition might look like.Against Ambition examines the psychological and societal impact of capitalist ambition and imagines a world liberated from its pressures.Critical Exploration of Ambition: Analyses how ambition became the dominant force shaping our lives since the 1980s, pushing us to view success as solely our responsibility—and failure as our fault.The Cult of Capitalist Success: Bill Peel critiques how capitalism turned ambition into an endless cycle of "rise and grind," passive income pursuits, and corporate competition, pushing us into self-sacrificing, goal-oriented lives.A Call to Reimagine Life Beyond Ambition: Argues that relentless ambition undermines collective action and turns individuals into isolated social climbers, hindering efforts to create a more equitable world.Radical Freedom in Letting Go: Advocates for a life freed from constant self-improvement, valuing the right to "waste time" as a radical act against neoliberal values.For readers interested in social criticism, capitalism’s influence on personal identity, or alternative views on productivity and success, Against Ambition offers a powerful challenge to the “cult of ambition.”

This book is a friendly and engaging introduction to the philosophy of leisure. Jason Holt frames the text around a novel definition of leisure as intrinsically motivated elective activities, which he defends throughout the text in comparison to other accounts of leisure. Beginning with Aristotle's influential theory and following its monumental legacy in Western culture, this book also includes Asian, African, and Indigenous philosophies and traditions. Topics discussed include leisure in relation to concepts of time, consumerist vs. reflective leisure, play and games, the place of freedom in leisure, active vs. idle leisure, and what makes for authentic leisure. Along with coordinating philosophies from many different times and places on the same conceptual map, this book proposes a pluralist theory of how leisure fits into a meaningful and fulfilling life.
