The Art of Living

By: Dietrich von Hildebrand, Alice von Hildebrand

Narrated by: Joe Jameson

A book of everyday ethics by a man whom Pope St. John Paul II called “one of the great ethicists of the 20th century”, The Art of Living is Dietrich von Hildebrand’s essential guide to the moral life.

In just over four hours, Dietrich von Hildebrand, with his wife Alice, presents a distinctive view of the virtuous life that begins with reverence, “the mother of all virtues”, and includes chapters on “Faithfulness”, “Goodness”, “Hope”, “The Human Heart”, and many others.

The essays that make up this book began as a popular series of radio lectures in 1930s Germany, and their conversational tone comes through in this new edition, which maintains Alice von Hildebrand’s original translation and updates this beloved work for a new generation of listeners.

The Art of Living promises to provide clarity, hope, and fresh insights for those seeking to live life more fully, faithfully, and beautifully.

Rules for Life

Great reader, great and wise philosophy to boot. A way to live your life. Also, Alice von Hildebrand is amazing.

So good!

This is one of the greatest books ever written in philosophy and theology! Absolutely love it!

thoughtful on the most inner person

something more and beyond just philosophy or just theology. it's the knowing and learning that is of thr whole person.

A Breathe of Fresh Air

I'm not philosopher. I'm a simple layman who loves the Catholic Faith. Dietrich and Alice von Hildebrand are quite simply a breathe of fresh air. Their logic is sound and they turn deep theological virtues into what I can only describe as common sense.

This book speaks to us in 2023 as much as it spoke to the people when it was written. Simultaneously convicting and challenging. Great listen.
