Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.3MB
Overview: In How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life, economist Russ Roberts introduces readers to a surprising side of the famed Scottish thinker. While Adam Smith is best known for The Wealth of Nations and his role in shaping modern economics, Roberts shifts focus to Smith’s often-overlooked work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments. In it, Smith explores the human quest for meaning, morality, and happiness—topics that remain as relevant today as they were in the 18th century.
Roberts presents Smith not only as an economist, but as a philosopher of everyday life. With clarity and wit, he reveals how Smith’s insights into empathy, vanity, self-interest, and virtue can help us better understand ourselves and improve our relationships with others. Rather than chasing wealth alone, Smith emphasized the pursuit of respect, community, and moral grounding as essential for a flourishing life.
Part philosophy, part self-help, Roberts’ book bridges centuries to show how Smith’s wisdom provides timeless guidance. Whether grappling with personal fulfillment, social pressures, or questions of character, this work demonstrates that Adam Smith’s lessons go beyond markets—they can transform how we live.
