How can you not be attracted to a book that features a yellow bust of Adam Smith with sunglasses? The author treats Adam Smith's writings as aa self help book. The focus is more on his lesser known Theory of Moral Sentiments. This book looks at the morality of the decisions and activities that we make in regular life. A lot of it is based on the Golden Rule. We do good to others like they would have us due to them. Russ Roberts uses an easy-going, conversational delivery to explore the ways that Adam Smith can help you to be happy. Much of this seems contrary to the Wealth of Nations Adam Smith we are used to. Sometimes we just need to kick back and enjoy life rather than be constantly seeking more and more.
